    Large Data Drop Down Menu

    Hi excel gurus,

    I am working on a big data file relating to exam results. approximately 50000 rows. I want a drop down menu or any other excel option to summarize the data into location wise. Attach excel sheet column B consists of location. I need a option in the same sheet when I click UK all data need to appear. When I sent this data location rep like to see there data only. Pivot table I tried. Please help me on this.

    What's wrong with using a data filter?

    Re: Large Data Drop Down Menu

    On 50,000 rows, this might be slow!!

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11=Sheet2!$A$1,ROW(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11)),ROWS(A$3:A3))),"")

    ... confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER.

    You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

    You can also use this formula
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!A$2:A$5000,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($1:$5000)/(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$5000=$A$1),ROWS($3:3))),"")
