    Cell formatting

    Hi All,

    I have a spreadsheet with a list of numbers appertaining to staff down COL B in a drop down. I would like the user to choose one of the numbers then in COL D of the same row the name of the staff member automatically shows. Can this be done? thanks for your time.

    cell formatting

    Hi Reggie This is my test version, so hopefully it will be easy enough to place the requires code/info into the version i am working on.

    COL B is the employee number drop down selection. COL D is the COL i need it to auto select the name corresponding with the employee name. These are visible at the moment to the right. Hope this helps.
