    Auto Fill Columns Based on List Selection

    Hello all,

    What I would like to accomplish is simply this;

    I have 3 columns, A, B, and C

    I have user select a value from a list of possible 40 values in Column A. Based on their selection, I would like to have column B, and C auto filled in. For example if I have this

    Apple Red 5
    Banana Yellow 3
    etc.

    So if the user select Apple from the drop down in column A, I want Excel to auto populate column B with Red, and C with 5. I appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks!

    Hello Pera,

    Where do the values for columns "B" and "C" come from?

    They are in a seperate tab within the same worksheet. Like in tab2 in column A I have al the List values for the column A in tab1. Same for the column B, and C.
