Interactive drop down box on excel - excel

I’m sure this is a really basic question for pro’s but I’m struggling to find the information online.
I’m creating a excel form which is a questionnaire. I want to create a drop down box where by selecting one of the outcome populated more boxes.
For example the drop down box will have the option for ‘house’ and ‘flat’. If you select ‘house’ it brings up further questions/text boxes relating houses and if you select ‘flat’ it brings up further questions/text boxes about flats
Can anyone help?

Excel and VBA form editing only

I've been trying to produce a form for the company I work at to automatically produce a specification with information inputted using excels form control drop down boxes and buttons. I have managed to produce the code that produces the required results but was just wondering if it is possible to make it so that the user can only choose from the drop down menus and press the buttons. I have seen that parts of the spreadsheet can be locked but I have struggled when trying to use this on all of my drop down boxes and buttons. I would also like to make it so the inputs (drop down boxes) are within another window maybe? Or if there is a way the inputs could pop up as a form outside of excel in order to make it look more professional. What the sheet looks like at the moment is below.

VBA Checkbox pop-up that sets filter?

I'm curious if it's possible in VBA excel to have a popup checkbox that will filter results. As an example a popup box (similar to an input box) comes up with several choices you can "check" that will then cause it to filter a specific column with just the items you checked.
Also I should mention this is something I plan to use in connection with a macro I'm running to help automate the filtering process. So I cannot just setup a checkbox on the spreadsheet itself. I'd need it to be an actual pop-up.
I'm not very versed with check boxes or their use in VBA so I'm not sure if this is possible or not. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

How can I reference existing groups in my VBA code?

I have already grouped cells in a spreadsheet using DATA>GROUP.
Based on a menu style system, I want to collapse/uncollapse a series of already created groups in a sheet, so that it only shows the selection chosen via the menu choices. I hope this makes sense.

In Excel, is there a way to link a dropdown menu to specific data?

Essentially what I have done so far is create a dropdown menu using the Data Validation tab within the 'Data' tab in Excel. Using a SS I will show what exactly I'm trying to do.
If this can also potentially be done with a vba macro please let me know.
Essentially, when I change the data (where the blue arrow is) I want different data values to appear in the table (in the red circle) for each different item in the dropdown box
Please let me know if this is possible in Excel, thanks in advance for the help!

form view in excel for a record

I have a sheet in excel that is basically like a database (yes it has to be in excel unfortunately) and I want to design a simple form to display the records (the different column values in the rows). Usually MS is good with making widgets to do this but I cant seem to figure out how to write it in VBA (easily)
Basically I have a list of Names and ID#'s then some other columns that need to be filled in (address, order # etc) but I'd like the user to do this via a form rather than typing in excel. I created a small form in VBA, but now I cant link the columns to the textboxes in the form.
Anyone know of any code I can plug and play to do this.
Specifically I am using a ComboBox (for the list of names) and then a for loop searching through it to find the selection and updating data. But its a real pain.
plus I cant figure out how to put in a 'Next' button, which is really annoying me. Does anyone know how to change the comboBox value to the next row, if it is linked via RowSource
Have you considered the Form feature? You can find under the commands you can add to your QuickAccess toolbar.
