    Convert data from formula to text then jump to next row

    I am new here and pretty much new to Excel, so any help is appreciated.
    I have a workbook with two sheets: Sheet 2 (CustomerVehicleInfo) contains a client database. Sheet 1 is kind of a virtual work order where the mechanic enters the name of a client (in A1) and all his info pops up in cells B4-F4, according to Sheet 2.

    I used a simple VLOOKUP for that:
    =IF($A$1<>"",VLOOKUP($A$1,CustomerVehicleInfo!$A:$E,1),"")

    Same formula for cells C4-F4.

    Problem is that the client data needs to convert from a formula to static text and next time the mechanic enters a new name in A1 it needs to jump to the next row, starting at B5.

    I hope all this makes sense and if anyone needs more info, please let me know.

    Thanks a lot!

    could it be coded in VBA to automate your request? if so, send a sample and you'll get the VBA macro in return
