    Dropdown box

    Hi,

    I'm trying to get a dropdown box which auto populates cells next to it from data on another sheet, depending on the value in the dropdown box. Say I had data A1-D10, and I make a dropdown box of values A1-A10. Should I select the A1 value in the box, the cells next to it would populate with B1, C1 and D1. Thanks in advance!

    Re: Dropdown box

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Hi,

    The first sheet shows just the dropdown, second sheet is after the auto populate, third is the data. Many Thanks.

    Like this:
    =INDEX(Sheet2!B$1:B$10,MATCH(Sheet1!$A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$A$10))
