    Drop Down List with Linked Column

    Hi there:

    In my Sheet 1, in Column B I have a drop down list to select a name. I have used the data validation to select the name list from Sheet 4 that also has two more column associate with it, i.e., name code and group code. I am looking for way to show all three columns in Sheet 1 when I select the name from drop down menu in Sheet 1. I already have blank column next to name column with drop down.

    Sheet 1
    Name NameCode GroupCode

    Sheet 4
    Name NameCode GroupCode

    Thank you in advance.

    Paul

    Use a VLOOKUP formula to lookup the selected name and return the two codes e.g.

    C1 (NameCode)
    =VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet4!A:C,1,0)

    D1 (GroupCode)
    =VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet4!A:C,2,0)

    Change the lookup columns A:C to suit.
    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.
