    Link to data from a dropdown list

    Hello,

    I am attempting to link from a list in a table to matching data on a different sheet in a work book. In the sample I have attached, you will see I have to sheets, Vendors and Jobs. On the "jobs" sheet I have a table with contract information. One column is the name of the vendor being used which is selected from a dropdown list sourced from the "vendors " sheet. What I would like to do is make the selection a link back to the correct row of information on the "vedors" sheet where additional information about the vendor will be found.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi there,

    We can set a dynamic hyperlink to the cell where the Vendor data is.

    On the 'Jobs' sheet, in cell 'E2' try:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Thank you ORoos!

    However, I want to try and make the vendor name from the dropdown list in B2 a link. I was trying to avoid adding another column.

    v/r,
    John
