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:
<tbody>
</tbody>
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:
<tbody>
</tbody>
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!

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:
- Automatically fill with the least expensive flights, with the Total Price calculated
- 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 Flight | Returning Flight | Total Price |
09/28 | 10/01 | WN1903 | UA784 | $233 |
