Drop-down box used for searching through an Excel file

[amalbp@gmail.com]

I hope this problem isn't too difficult, but basically I have a 1D array in a *.csv file (need.csv) and I'm dumping its contents into an array which I'm converting to a drop-down menu using the Ring function.  This is done sucessfully.

I also have a 2D array in a *.csv file (delivered.csv) that will be searched through when a particular value is selected from the drop-down menu. 

The problem I am having is the only value it's looking up is the first element in the drop down array.  If I select any other element in the drop-down menu, LabVIEW doesn't search and return the information corresponding to element i looked up.

If it helps, I modified the example, Search 2D Array.vi, created by tst. 

I am attaching my VI, as well as files used for my VI.  They are *.xls files, so you will have to save them as *.csv files because this forum doesn't allow me to attach *.csv files.

If you need clarification, please let me know.  I'll appreciate ANY help.

Thanks 🙂 ,
