    List Box with multiple columns

    I'm creating an input form for my accounts payable person to use for entering vendor invoice information. I want to create a drop down list in a cell that will display 2 columns of information (vendor # and vendor name). When the appropriate vendor name is selected, the corresponding vendor number will populate the cell. What is the best method for doing this? I'm familiar with drop down lists but that only populates the item you select. Thanks

    Hi driffert,.
    Possibly a "change sheet event" with "find".
    If the solution helped please donate to RSPCA

    You could use an Active X ComboBox with a 2 Column ListFillRange, setting Column Count of control to 2 and Bound Column set to be whichever of the columns has the #

    You could also use a single column list of names and run a lookup in an adjacent cell to retrieve the appropriate #

    You can also use Custom Number Formats to permit this via a Validation List but depending on how many items you have in the list this may well prove to be an ill-advised approach.
