    Dropdown list cell reference

    Sorry if this has been covered before, my Google searches have been unproductive. Likely because I don't know exactly what I am looking for.

    This is what I am working with:

    Sheet #1

    Dropdown List | Number | Result 1 | Result 2


    Sheet #2

    Dropdown List Item 1 | Context Number 1-1 | Context Number 1-2
    Dropdown List Item 2 | Context Number 2-1 | Context Number 2-2
    etc.


    Currently on Sheet #1, Result 1 I have an enormous nested IF statement which does work but seems very inefficient. What I want it to do is select an item from the dropdown list and then apply the context numbers into their respective fields.

    Example:

    List Item 1 | 55 | =55 * Context Number 1-1 | =55 * Context Number 1-2
    List Item 32 | 732 | = 732 * Context Number 32-1 | = 732 * Context Number 32-2

    You can avoid long multiple-IF statements by setting up a table and then using a VLOOKUP formula. Post a sample file if you want more details.
