    Using a dropdown list to autofill a worksheet

    I am building a spreadsheet showing different companies and their information to be able to compare them to each other. I want to have a list that you can choose the company and once chosen then it auto fills the rest of the cells with the information regarding that company. I will attach a spreadsheet showing what i want to do. Any help would be much appreciated.Example Worksheet.xlsx Thanks

    I think you need vlookup, where are you storing the information to populate the cells under B3,C3,D3?

    One way is to use VLOOKUP. First create your table (you started at A45), Col B would be company addresses, C websites, etc. If you make your table columns in the same order as your form, you can use this in B4 for example;
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B$3,$A$45:$Q$76,ROW(A2),FALSE),"")
    Does that work for you?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
