Querying data in multiple tables

I have recently built a sharepoint database made up of multiple lists. I have exported the contents of two of the lists into excel as seperate worksheets of the same document (which will now automatically refresh the data from the lists every time I open the document).

What I want to do now is create some more tabs in the document to show reports pulling in data from the two sheets.

What I would initially like is a sheet with some drop down filters at the top, and then displaying rows below.

Take the most simple example - imagine one of my sheets is a table with just two columns, name and child's name. A person can appear multiple times in the "name" column, with then each of their children's name in the second column.

I'd like to create a sheet with a drop down at the top for "name", and when you then select a name it populates underneath with a list of each of their children, one on each row - so I'd like to find the first instance, the second instance and so on.

Hope that makes sense and someone can help me out.

Thanks

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
