    Question Create GUI in excel - user inserts part number & all applicable upgrades are shown.

    Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated.!!!

    I have 4 different Parent part marks (of various unique Part Numbers) which are made up of children parts (of different children part numbers).

    Parent Part # examples:

    mark I: 1-1, 1-2, 1-3
    Mark II: 2-1, 2-2, 2-3
    Mark III: 3-1, 3-2, 3-3

    So 1-1 would be a Parent Part, as well 3-3, 2-4 and so on…(9 unique Parents Part # shown above)

    (Children part # examples

    (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6......)
    (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6.......)
    (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6......)

    Based on the unique parent part number – which will never be the same – there are available upgrades.

    Upgrade ID’s:

    A applicable to parent parts: 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1
    B applicable to parent parts: 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1, 3-2
    C applicable to parent parts: 1-1, 1-2, 2-1
    D applicable to parent parts: 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3

    (Each upgrade is made up of a list of parts which get added and/or replaced in a particular parent part)

    WHAT I NEED MY SPREADSHEET TO DO:

    1. I would like to create a GUI in excel where a user enters a parent part # and all applicable part upgrade ID’s are shown based on the Parent Part # (whether upgrade A, B, C and/or D).

    2. Once all applicable upgrades are shown I would like the user to simply click a checkbox selecting which upgrades they would like (whether upgrade A, B, C and/or D).

    The ultimate goal here is that once the user clicks certain upgrades the list of parts corresponding to that upgrade is retrieved and a cost calculated and returned. I am familiar with VBA and know that I have to use a Function to return a value. Should I keep all my tables in the same workbook? And what kind of table structure do you recommend?

    Upgrade table fields include: Upgrade ID, Part Number, and Cost.

    Again, your help/guidance is greatly appreciated.
