using one cell to insert data into other cells

HI

im trying to get a way to use a filter box with an extra dropdown sheet.

basicly when i select an name in the dropdown cell i want it to insert data from a nother sheet into a diffrent cell in my main sheet.

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

Hey Stefn, hoe gaan dit daar in Ptown?
Still looking for another Naas?

To begin with, a drop down cell is really no different to a manually entered cell - the only real differences being cutting down on typos, saving time not having to type, and restricting entries to a specified list. A DD cell cannot contain a formula, it would be over-written the 1st time you use the DD.

I suggest that you start making your list of codes and their associated Items. We can then start creating the DD's and from there, add the formulas (probably VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH) that will be needed to pull the info for you.
