    Need data in column K to be auto populated, depending on drop down selection in column J

    I'm working on allocating all 50 states to three names sales reps.

    I need a formula that will allow me to allocate each state abbreviation (CA, NY, LA, KY... etc.) in column J and have column K auto populate with the one of three names.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello skeithnavo,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    On "Sheet2" of the attached workbook are two columns: State and Rep. The fifty states are divided among three reps.

    On "Sheet1" in columns J2:J51, the cells have Validation Drop Downs to let you select a state.

    In Cells K2:K51 is this formula: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(J2,StateRep,2,FALSE),"")
    This formula looks up the Rep for the selected State using the named range "StateRep" on "Sheet2". "StateRep" is range A1:B51.
