    Question Populate multiple cells with information based on two dependent drop down menus

    First of all hello everyone. I have been able to solve most issues I have by myself but this one is kicking my behind and such i am asking for help. I have seen similar posts but not exactly what i am looking for yet. I have figured out the drop down menus but for the life of me I cant make it display the results I want.
    This is a different pill(caplet, capsule, ovals, tablet etc) selector that would display the results for a container size on a packaging machine.
    Basically I have 1st drop down menu you can select the shape for the pill (lets say round). The second drop down would be for a specific round tablet (for now 10 different types. will grow as time progresses) Once the second selection is made i want the results for the specific tablet displayed in a set of cells.

    The machine has 8 lanes and each can have the same pill or each can have a different one.


    I hope i am making sense and apologize in advance. My skills with excel are absolute novice.

    Best Regards,

    Matt

    Re: Populate multiple cells with information based on two dependent drop down menus

    I re-organised the data as per Sheet2 (normalised form) which makes the formula much simpler

    In B8

    =INDEX(Sheet2!$C$2:$H$151,MATCH(Sheet1!B$3,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$151,0),MATCH(Sheet1!$A8,Sheet2!$C$1:$H$1,0))

    Copy down and across
