Hey there,

I'm trying to set up a training log in excel, basically it will be a list of users, and the training they've taken.

There will be a scrollable list of users, when you click a user I want excel to display which training they've taken.

I've attached a crude screenshot which details what I'm trying to do, any help is appreciated!

    @Ray Flits

    Based on your description, it may require VBA code to realize.
    You could add a related tag like “office-vba-dev”, this may get more help.

    2 options with Excel 365 & Training data formatted as a table named Training (not mandatory, will work the same with a range)

    in E8:
    =IF(ISBLANK(B8), "",
    SUBSTITUTE(
    TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(INDEX(Training,MATCH(B8,Training[NAMES],0),0)<>0,Training[#Headers],"")),
    "NAMES, ",""
    )
    )

    in E9:
    =IF(ISBLANK(B8), "",
    SUBSTITUTE(
    TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(FILTER(Training,Training[NAMES]=B8)<>0,Training[#Headers],"")),
    "NAMES, ",""
    )
    )
