Hi everybody,
I am new to this forum and I hope someone can help. Basically what I am trying to do is create a sheet for that has an automatic return of a number based upon a selection in a drop down box. I have created the drop down box in the first column using a seperate worksheet validation. Once a name is chosen, I want 3 corresponding fields to be automatically be return next to the name (ie ID, DOB, ADDRESS).
Can anyone help?
Thank-you,
Kevin

Have a look at Vlookup function in Excel Help...
e.g. =Vlookup(A1,$W$1:$Z$100,2,FAlse) will return from column X what is found where column W matches input from A1.
Adjust ranges to suit.. and change the 2 to a 3 to extract from the next column and so on.
Where there is a will there are many ways.
