Hello all,

I am trying to figure out the best way to create a dashboard that will allow me to find the best flights to book.

I have the following raw data:
AirlineFlight #Depart DateDepart AirportDepart TimeArrival AirportArrival TimePrice
UnitedUA33009/28DFW5:00pmDEN6:00pm$100
AmericanAA8009/28DFW8:00pmDEN9:00pm$200
SouthwestWN190309/28DAL6:30pmDEN7:30pm$98
AmericanA44310/12DFW5:45pmDEN6:45pm$77
SouthwestWN178410/12DAL8:15pmDEN9:15pm$105
UnitedUA68310/12DFW6:30pmDEN7:30pm$115
SouthwestWN73810/01DEN4:00pmDAL7:00pm$140
UnitedUA78410/01DEN4:30pmDFW7:30pm$135
AmericanAA39110/01DEN6:00pmDFW9:00pm$150
AmericanAA93010/15DEN3:30pmDFW6:30pm$170

Ideally I would have the dashboard look something like this, where when I input my preferred date to Leave Dallas and Return to Dallas (possibly from a drop down with data validation rules if that makes it easier), then the "Departing Flight", "Returning Flight", and "Total Price" columns will either:
  1. Automatically fill with the least expensive flights, with the Total Price calculated
  2. Show me what options I have for both Departing Flights and Returning Flights (like a VLOOKUP) and then based off of which flights I choose the Total Price would be calculated
Leaving Dallas?Return to Dallas?Departing FlightReturning FlightTotal Price
09/2810/01WN1903UA784$233

If there is a better way to display this data that I haven't thought of, or an easier way to generate what I am asking for that you can think then please let me know -- I'm open to any and all ideas! The main thing I am looking for is the cheapest round trip -- timing, airports, and airlines are all secondary criteria.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help!

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
