    Auto-fill with a Drop down list

    Okay this is what I have:
    (Sheet 1)
    A1-A5 = names (range is named "Name")
    B1-B5 = id # for each name (range is named "ID")

    (sheet 2)
    A1= a drop down list that you can choose from the "Name" list on Sheet 1

    What I would like:
    for B2 on Sheet to automatically fill in the correct "ID" that goes with the "Name" for Sheet 1.

    I know this can be simple, but I can't remember how to do it. Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance!!

    Try:

    =Index(ID,Match(A1,Name,0))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
