Troubleshooting a Formula and Range Name
EE Pros,
I've spent about 4 hours trying to get a formula in a set of columns/rows to properly behave. I've attached the WB and am hoping someone will take a quick look and see what I have done wrong. There are two Name Ranges (Industry and Columntable).
The use is simple. I want to select an industry (right now there are but 2 -- Banking & Insurance). Once selected, all the ASSOCIATED records, only for that industry, are displayed and you can then see the relationship of the cells. I want to be able to then change or update an individual record so that it is reflected back in the Data Base.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Attached how I would do.
I changed your name definition and I separated the index column (A).
You need to confirm the formula in this column with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

Kris,
Thank you! What you provided me works! There are two things that need to be taken into consideration.
1.) How do I get it to not execute if the max. number of industry records are reached? So in Insurance there are 13 records and on Banking there are 16 records. Is there a way to not have the formulas show up if there is no associated industry record?
2.) I'm going to have to figure out how I can update a record in the maintenance tab that automatically updates the DB....but I'm going to hold that for the next question.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
I am not sure I clearly understand your 1) question. You do not want to see the index numbers when there are no more data? You can use your IF solution for that formula, so in cell A6:
=IF(ROWS(B$6:B6)>$B$4,"",S
Ctrl+Shift+Enter and copy down.
Relating 2) - It could be done only with some VBA code.
But why you do not use an autofilter on the original data, so on Data_Base sheet? And you can modify the data in-place.
I attached the corrected formula + autofilter.
