    Creating A Filtered Subset Of A Data Table Using Controls Instead Of Slicers

    Hello, me again. I've ran into some issues with pulling certain data from a table and was hoping I could recieve some help. It's hard to put into words exactly what I mean, but hopefully an example will get my point across.

    Let's say I have the table:

    Category: Part: Volume:
    Box 001 1000
    Box 003 3000
    Tape 101 500
    Scissors 201 300
    Box 004 2000
    Scissors 203 400
    Tape 107 600
    and more lines are being added everyday. I have a combobox that chooses the category and a listbox that is synced with the drop down to show all the available parts. Is it possible to link both the listbox and dropdown to the data table to form a new table to make a graph from? Preferably with formulas.

    Example being if I choose [Box] with my combobox and choose both [001] and [004] as my part numbers a new/seperate table would be shown as:

    Category Part Volume
    Box 001 1000
    Box 004 2000

    I could then have a chart showing data from the new table.


    I'm basically trying to create a Slicer but with comboboxes and listboxes. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Can be done. But you'll need to define how you need it to be done from a user's perspective.

    So the combobox will have one selection, and based on that, you'll populate the listbox will all corresponding parts. And the user selects either one or more of these parts, and the table populates accordingly. Correct?

    You can do this with formula, or with VBA (which might be a bit more neater)

    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve
