    how do i display specific text in a new cell after selecting from a drop down menu

    hi
    I have spent several months comiling a construction risk assessment in excel format. to date i have created a list of hazards on sheet two and included these in a drop down list in sheet one. I now wish to create a list of control measures in sheet 2 which correspond with each hazard in the list on sheet one and the control measure displayed in a specific cell in sheet one. Is this possible if so can anyone assist. ( i will add that up until i began this project i knew nothing at all about excel so if possible can you provide an idiot proof answer).
    Thanks in advance any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    Not sure, but maybe this is what you're looking for?
    When you select a hazard thru the dropdownlist in sheet1 it automatically attaches a control measure which is in the table on sheet2.
    Downside of this is that you can only attach one control measure to a hazard.
