    Populating a cell based on info from another cell

    Hello I have a large spreadsheet with financial information. One of the columns is for cost centers which I've added as a drop down to select a cost center, what I would like to happen next is that there is another column called Section which correlates to the section name of the cost center. My goal is to have the section column populate with the section name when I add a cost center in the cost center column. Is this possible and if yes how?
