    Autofill a cell based on selection in drop down menu

    I have 3 cells used for Vendor Name, Street Address and City/State/Zip. The top cell I created a drop down menu with all vendor names. How do I go about making the Street Address and City/State/Zip cells fill in based on which vendor I choose?

    Hi fyrfytr265,

    I'd make a table of all my vendors with 5 columns. Vendor Name, Address, City, State, Zip.

    Then in another section I'd have a dropdown of all Vendor Names and I'd select one of them. Then use VLookup of the dropdown cell to find the Address, City, etc.

    See attached for a simple example.

    Hi Both,

    I believe there should be small correction in the formula listed in your workbook. Corrected and attached it, please refer to it.

    Hi reachhari,

    It looks like I used "Column()" in my formula and you put in a reference for the column, like "Column($B1)".
    In reading http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...010062409.aspx
    the column reference is OPTIONAL and not needed if your are returning the column number of the formulas' column.
