    Question I need to create a dropdown list but want to automatically include adjacent colums

    Can someone help me figure out how to do this

    A B C D
    1Entrees LS LC GF
    2Swiss Steak x x x
    3BBQ Chicken x x x


    I WANT TO CREATE A DROPDOWN LIST BASED ON ITEMS IN A2:A3 NAMED ENTREES, BUT ON MY FORM I WANT TO ADD DATA FROM B,C,D TO MY SHEET?

    HOW CAN I DO THIS SO THAT IT AUTOMATICALLY FILLS IF THERE IS INFORMATION IN THE CELLS

    fOR EXAMPLE I CHOOSE SWISS STEAK FROM DROP DOWN LIST, THIS ITEM SHOWS IT IS AVAILABLE IN LS (LOW SODIUM) LC (LOW CARB) GF ( GLUTEN FREE) BECAUSE THERE IS A X IN THE COLUMN. I NEED THIS TO BE INCLUDED WHEN THE ITEM IS SELECTED IN THE DROP DOWN BOX AND INCLUDE INFORMATION ON THE SHEET. I JUST CANT SEEM TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

    A11 is your drop down list.

    This formula entered in B11:

    =T(INDEX($B$2:$D$3,MATCH($A11,$A$2:$A$3,0),COLUMNS($B11:B11)))

    Copy across to D11
