    Excel genius required - equation that takes user inputs, and searches table for results

    Help, please!

    *Example Excel File attached*

    Help - Excel Forum.xlsx

    I need a function that takes inputted min/max parameters, searches through a table, and then displays results that meet parameter constraints.

    Another way of explaining this:

    There are five students in a class: Amy, Sally, Mike, Bob, and Peter.
    They all take four courses: Science, Math, History, and Economics.

    I want a function that lets me input search parameters such as: I want to know which student scored >80 in Science AND >70 in Math AND >90 in History AND <50 in Economics.

    The function should search through a table of all their marks and display who fell in those parameters.

    Thank you so much. Hope this question made sense.

    Welcome to the board.

    How about just using Autofilter?

    The person inputting parameters should not be able to view the table. That's how I need this executed.
