Is there a way to output specific rows based on dropdown option?
I am creating a Training record spreadsheet for my organisation, and I am trying to find out if there is a way to use a dropdown list to specify which row I want to pull data from my main table....
Table where I would input dates for training completed
Above Images (apologies for poor quality) are to try and show what I am aiming for visually, I can and will create a blank copy for the purposes of uploading to here if anyone is willing to try and lend me a hand!
(Had to censor out staff names for confidentiality)
The Dropdown on the smaller image includes a list of ALL the staff members I am trying to capture training records for (which is provided by Data Validation from the "Full list of staff" [first image])
The hope is that there is a way to select a name using the dropdown, and then for all of the applicable data to be shown in the row below?
I had previously thought I could just make a table like the one in the first image and then just use the filter function but I would like to find something cleaner/smoother than that if possible, as the intention is for this to be technophobe friendly!!

- JKPieterseSilver ContributorWhy not add a slicer to the table?
- OliverBoardmanCopper ContributorHi Jan,
Is a slicer different to the filter function of normal tables?- JKPieterseSilver ContributorSee: https://jkp-ads.com/articles/slicers.asp (the article is about pivot table slicers, but table slicers behave the same)
