    using a pulldown as a match to pull data from another sheet.

    HI,
    So I am having a problem with a function I am trying to do.
    Ok this is a workbook with 4 sheets.

    on the first sheet there is a pulldown in cell 12B that lists facilities by the town they are in

    I want to pull data from a different sheet based on what is selected in that pulldown and populate 16B with the address

    The other sheet looks like this:
    Propcap.PNG

    as you can see 2 CDE make up the address. the Property column in the actual version matches the property name from the pulldown.
    I want to pull those 3 columns into text to populate the Street column (16B) on the first sheet.

    I can match and get a row #, I can index and get some weird results. But I cant get it to populate with the contents of those 3 cells as an address in the 16B cell

    Can anyone help me with this? Seems as if it should be easy, but I just cant get it.

    Hopefully this is a good enough explanation.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Before I try and answer this, just want to point out a few naming conventions we use in excel.
    A cell is referred to by it's column letter (vertical) and row number (horizontal)
    the 16B cell
    Is called B16
    as you can see 2 CDE
    That would normally be referred to as C2:E2

    Ok, with that said, I cannot see, in table 2, any reference to Johnstown, so Im not sure how you are ID'ing that from your data I suggest that you To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    I put dummy information up in the second form to avoid violating HiPAA, just assume that prop1, prop2, etc are the property names.
    My bad on the syntax conventions. I don't do much outside of *nix unfortunately, bit of a cave in that sense. But it is noted and will be correct from now on.

    So if Johnstown said prop1 or vice versa, what would i do?
    keep in mind, thats a full drop down menu with many locations. but if you tell me the syntax of the functions or help me with it, I can put the specific data later.

    sure, but it's elementary.
    I made Cells on the main form for each of the individual aspects of the address.
    Then I just did an INDEX MATCH function to match for each individual Cell, instead of trying to concatenate them.
