Default Drop down menu with results


I'm working on a fantasy football spreadsheet and I want to use a drop
down menu to do side by side matchup comparisons.
A2:A13 I have the team names, and from Columns B to N are their
respective stats.
Is it possible to have a drop down menu, and based on which team I
select, it show stats from B,C,D,E...N below it?

I've only gotten as far as creating a drop down menu. Is there a
lookup function specific to this type of situation? Any help would
greatly be appreciated.

Sure, just use

=VLOOKUP(O1,$A$2:$A$13,ROW(A2),FALSE)

where O1 is the dropdown, and just copy down

Just so that you know, both the guys that answered to not use that forum, we
are in the Excel NGs, where your posts are routed to. ExcelTip likes to make
out that it is a useful problem solving site, but the vast majority of its
responses are culled from the Usenet newsgroups.
