Hi all

Your help here would be greatly appreciated.

Excel 2010.

I have an inventory list on the first sheet with different rooms in a column. This room is taken from a list to avoid being spelled incorrectly.

I am trying to make a "report" sheet (sheet 2) in the same workbook, to take information from the inventory list based on the room number selected in sheet 2.

This is an example of the formula I did for the first room, which WORKED. Any other room I select does not work and the report page stays empty. Any time I select the first room it displays only the inventory for this room as I expected all of them to do.

=IF(Table1[@Room]=Report!$F$3,Table1[@[Item Name]],"") where F3 is the location for the room name and Item Name is the name of the column for the data required.

Please advise what I have done wrong?
 
quick look I'm guessing that the room may have a space in the name try add single quotes around it
 
Hi Wizzard, thx for the reply but there are no spaces in the names.
 
Are you coping the formula down? Change report!$F$3 to report!F3
