    Dependent Drop Down Box

    What is the excel formula that is dependent on:
    the first drop down box is the company name:
    then I would like excel generate the exact Address, City, State, Zip, Phone Number, Email adress.

    I already have all the information inputted but wanted to get them to link, so when I hit a certain company name it generates the other information.

    Thanks!! Been at if for about a week and cannot figure it out.

    Re: Dependent Drop Down Box

    You could use a VLOOKUP formula, or an INDEX/MATCH combination.

    It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook.

    To do this, click on Go Advanced (below the Edit Window) while you are composing a reply, then scroll down to and click on Manage Attachments and the Upload window will open. Click on Browse and navigate to (and double-click) the file icon that you want to attach, then click on Upload and then on Close this Window to return to the Edit window. When you have finished composing your post, click on Submit Post.

    Don't try to use the Paperclip icon, as it doesn't work on this forum.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Pete-

    They won't let me send any links until I reach a certain amount of posts.
    Thanks, so much!

    Don't try to attach a link. Follow Pete's instructions and post the file itself.

    Glen,

    Thanks for getting back to me. It won't allow me to post a link because I am new to the site.

    Re: Dependent Drop Down Box

    I know it won't let you post a link... I already said that. I'd advise you to remove your email address quickly, unless you like spam... by the bucket full.

    You CAN attach the file directly in this thread (unless it's > 1Mb, in which case save as .xlsb or zip it). So, then reply to the thread and follow these instructions:

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Re: Dependent Drop Down Box

    Is this what you meant?? In K2, copied across and down:

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($J2,$B:$H,COLUMNS($A:B),FALSE)&"","")

    I edited your posts and removed your email address....

    Glen -

    sorry to bother you!

    Can you show me how to copy the formula to work in the main spreadsheet? Ie: I would like to carry the formula to existing conditions, etc.
