    Input data automatically linked to drop down list

    Hi

    I have a drop down list of names and when one is selected I would like their phone number to appear in the cell next to the name. I have all the phone numbers listed on another sheet of the same workbook. How do I achieve this.

    Sorry if this is the most basic of questions but working with Excel is a new challenge for me

    Regards

    Al

    You should be able to use VLOOKUP if the data is formatted correctly. See the example here
    Hope that helps.
