    Auto populate cells based on a drop down list selection

    I am trying to auto populate the cells on sheet 1 columns F & H based on the selection of Column C.

    The corresponding data is on the data tab. Column G and I match up with their respective equipment in Column E.

    I thought this was starting with a VLookup and Item Num and just got lost. I believe I am overthinking this.

    Any suggestion or help is much appreciated.

    What influence does Column A have on the output?

    Hi,

    Column A has no influence on the output, it is simply there to provide the dropdown data for banking center that I can easily add to or delete from.

    Formula for F3 =IF([@[Equipment Type]]="","",INDEX('Sheet 3'!G:G,MATCH([@[Equipment Type]],'Sheet 3'!E:E,0),1))

    Formula for H3 =IF([@[Equipment Type]]="","",INDEX('Sheet 3'!I:I,MATCH([@[Equipment Type]],'Sheet 3'!E:E,0),1))

    Re: Auto populate cells based on a drop down list selection

    Thank you very much, mehmetcik. Sorry to be so green. When I add these formulas in, I get a "Value not available error". Should I be adding anything between the "","",?

    Thanks again for you assistance.
