Numbers populate cells based on two search criteria

Question

Hello,
I'm looking to populate the cells of a table using information from another table. I need to enter two different search terms "School and month" in a table. Then I would like to populate cells on a third table with all the results from table 1 that correspond to the criteria. It's probably a lot easier and better explained in the document I'm using. Thanks In advance for any advice.

Answer 1

To do this I had to do the following:
1) Add 3 new columns to your data table on sheet 1 called "Repeat", "YearMonth", and "ID"
2) Add two new tables to your "Months and Dates" sheet called "Work Area" and "Mapping"
3) name the table where you enter the month and year to "Month selector"
4) name the table where the information for a particular month is to be listed to "List"
INFORMATION FOR SHEET 1
The Repeat column has two different formulas:
B2 = 0
B3=IF(A3=A2, Repeat Friday 29 October 2010+1, 0)
The YearMonth column is:
C2=100*YEAR(A2)+MONTH(A2)
The ID column is:
D2=YEAR(A2)*100000+1000*MONTH(A2)+10*DAY(A2)+Repeat Friday 29 October 2010
Fill C2 and D2  down to the third row
Fill B3, C3, D3 D2 down
INFORMATION FOR sheet "Months and Dates"
Name the table where you enter the month and year to "Month selector"
Name the table where the listing is to "List"
Create two new tables (as shown in the yellow box)
- name on of them "Work Area"
- name the other Mapping"
INFORMATION FOR sheet "Months and Dates" Table "Mapping"
Mapping selects which columns from the table in Sheet 1 are shown in the Listing table on this sheet
A1 = 19
A2 = 5
A3 = 12
B1=OFFSET(Table 1 :: $D$1, 0, A1, 1, 1)
fill down
Column B will now show the name of the column from Table 1 on Sheet 1
INFORMATION FOR sheet "Months and Dates" Table "Work Area"
This table tries to find the extent entries in the main data table on sheet 1
B2=Month selector :: 'Month ' Populated by the School list on sheet one
C2=Month selector :: Year Populated by the School list on sheet one
D2=End Populated by the School list on sheet one-Start Populated by the School list on sheet one+1
E2=IF(MOD('Month ' Populated by the School list on sheet one+1, 12)=0, Year Populated by the School list on sheet one+1, Year Populated by the School list on sheet one)
F2=MOD('Month ' Populated by the School list on sheet one+1, 12)
G2=MATCH(100*Next months year Populated by the School list on sheet one+Next Months Month Populated by the School list on sheet one, YearMonth, -1)
H2=MATCH(100*Next months year Populated by the School list on sheet one+Next Months Month Populated by the School list on sheet one, YearMonth, 1)
INFORMATION FOR sheet "Months and Dates" Table "List"
This table looks up the information from the data table.
Column A (Item) should be filled with integer values starting at 1 and go higher than the max number of items in a single month
B2=IF(A2<=$Num Items $Populated by the School list on sheet one, INDIRECT("Sheet 1 :: Table 1 :: D"&$Start $Populated by the School list on sheet one+ROW()-2), "")
fill B2 down
C2=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B2, $ID:$Ecole Date, INDIRECT("Mapping :: A"&COLUMN()-2)), "")
fill C2 across, then fill C2 - C4 down
