    Returning row data dependant on two drop down lists

    Hi,

    I am making a data sheet that can be explained likes this:

    I have a drop down list of car brands
    I have a drop down list of models of each brands

    now i want to, when a given model is selected, to print the data of the selected model.

    the row that needs printed should be printed in equal amount of cells.

    A B C D E F G H I J K L
    1 Brand Model Horsepower Torque Motor Brand Model Horsepower Torque Motor
    2 Drop Down Drop Down Returned data Returned data Returned data Ford Focus 100 250 2.0
    3 Volvo S60 125 300 2.5
    4 Fiat Panda 70 100 1.2
    5 Seat Ibiza 90 250 1.6

    In this example there is only 1 model pr brand, but there will be many more.

    How to i get the returned data to be dependent on the chosen model in the drop down list?

    i am naming the rows like (I2:K2) is called "focus".

    the second drop down list is using =indirect(A2)

    Hope it make sense and the info needed is there.

    Thanks
