    Displaying a Column of Data Based on Drop-down Entry

    Is there anyway to display a column of Data from another sheet, in the same workbook, based on an entry in a drop-down. For example, A drop-down in A1 on sheet2 has options A, B, C, D, E. When A is selected in the drop-down list, data from sheet1 on column A is displayed on sheet 2 in column B. When C is selected in the drop-down. Data from column C in Sheet1 is displayed in Column B on sheet 2, etc.
    Thank you!!

    One way:
    If you name your data in each column with the same name as you have in your dropdown, then you can use

    =INDEX(INDIRECT($A$1),ROW(A1)) in column C dragged down

    If your rows exactly match your rows of data on sheet1, i.e. they both start in row 2, this can be simplified to

    =INDIRECT($A$1) dragged down.
    Does this work for you? See attachment

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
