How to look up using dropdown

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

I need some help please.  Let's say I have many cols with rows of data such as this:

Name------Swimming------Running-----Basketball----Baseball-----Football-----Soccer

Joe D.               x                                             x                                                          x

Janet T.                                    x                                            x          

Helgar M.                                                        x                                        x

 

I need help to build a dropdown list that based on the dropdown list a user select, it returns the name of the sport that the individual participated in.

Please help!

Welcome to your Excel discussion space!

Please read it through!

 

Forgive me from the start, but always the same ... it's not pretty.

Everyone has a problem ... I can understand.

Anyone looking for help here is sure that their problem is very important to them ... I can understand. But I can't understand that everyone just writes on it without a file or, in the best case, inserts a picture and means that everyone goes to the trouble of creating files and other descriptions for them by the others.

Therefore, I ask you to read the link carefully in advance.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding

Thanks for the reply, I'll try to see if I can post pics on here.

The first one is my text file, it contains (capture1 file) and my expected results (capture2 file).

 

Forgive me, but I am not making my life more difficult than it already is.
What is preventing you from inserting this data in the photos into a new file (where there are no sensitive data) and including this file in your declaration?
Why do I have to write down everything individually from the photos and make a file for you myself?
Where is the problem to announce his Excel version and his operating system version?

I hope you continue to enjoy Excel, I'm out of line.

Thank you for your understanding

Attached is a sample file.  Due to sensitivity, I can't send the actual file.

In the first column (Col A) is the current data, and under each of the Sport there are many players' name that I can't list them all.  Under some of the Sport title, there could be from 10 - 200+ players' name depends on the Sport title.

On the Expected Output:  that's where I'd like to see the output to display in cols.  There are many more Sport Names, not limited to the list in the file.  So, if there's a way to read in Sport title/name and its players' names, then continues to the next col etc...

 

I hope this helps clear the ambiguity.

 

Thanks in advance,
