I require assistance in linking an Excel spreadsheet so that individual lines can be searched and displayed in a separate Excel form.

To link your Excel spreadsheet and search for individual lines, you can use the following steps:

1. Open your original Excel spreadsheet and select the data range/cells you want to link and search.
2. Click on the “Insert” tab in the Excel ribbon and select “Table” to convert the data range into a table.
3. Name the table, if you haven't already done so, by selecting any cell within the table and entering the name in the “Table Name” field under the “Table Tools” tab.
4. Save and close the original Excel spreadsheet.
5. Open a new Excel spreadsheet and select the cell where you want to display the search results.
6. In the “Data” tab on the Excel ribbon, click on “From Other Sources” and select “From Microsoft Query”.
7. Choose the original Excel spreadsheet file and select the table you named in step 3. Click “OK”.
8. In the “Query Wizard” dialog box that appears, select the data columns you want to include in the search results and click “Next”.
9. Choose the search criteria for your query and click “Next”.
10. Specify any sorting or filtering options for the search results and click “Finish”.
11. Save and close the new Excel spreadsheet.

Now, you’ll be able to enter a search term in the cell you selected in step 5 and display the search results in the linked Excel form.
