    Drop Down List to return multiple results in multiple cells

    Hi All,


    I'm rather new to Excel and would like some help with something that might appear very simple to many.

    I have created a drop down list with 4 choices on the first sheet. On the second sheet, there are 4 columns of data following the choices in the drop down list. I would like to know what is the most efficient way to have each choice in the drop down menu return their respective 4 results in sheet #1.

    For example: I would like when I select the choice "Risks" in the menu, to see "AAAA", "BBBB", "CCCC", and "DDDD" appear in the 4 cells below.

    See attachment for my file.

    Thanks for your help with this!

    The fact that you are merging cells makes it a bit more complex but put this in A2 copied down

    =VLOOKUP($A$1,Sheet2!$A$1:$E$4,INT((ROWS($A$1:A1)-1)/4+2),FALSE)

    My 2?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
