I am having trouble coming up with the correct function coeding for
this Excel database. I know I would need to use IF, VLOOKUP, INDEX and
ROW. But in what order and how I just cant seem to get it. When you
open the file you will see the sheet called Search and then there is
another sheet (Data) where I have all the info. I would like to type
in the blanks what I am looking for and it will search threw the data
and pull all the ones with the criteria's I need and show them under
Result.

Thank you in advance.
BR,
John

Here is the File.

Hi

Take a look at Advanced Filter, extracting data to another sheet.
Debra Dalgleish has some examples, and some code to automate the procedure.

The reason for doing it this way is because different people are going
to use it and I have to make it as simple as possible. It needs to be
simple to update so everyone can easily add the data. I have tried it
with the advance filter and it has not worked as I wanted it to. They
need the GUI to show them what to do. I guess im trying to say that I
need this idiot proof.

BR,
John
