Hi

Define an additional named range, which includes all data in columns B:F. My
advice is to use a dynamic named range. P.e. when your table doesn´t include
any gaps (fully empty rows), in row 2 are column headers, and the cell B1 is
always empty, then you can define a named range
YourTable=OFFSET(Sheet2!$B$2,1,,COUNTIF(Sheet2!$B: $B)-1,5)
, which always will contain all rows with data in your table - and only
those.

Now, when the cell with data validation list on Sheet1 is in A1, then to
return the corresponding value from column C on Sheet2 you can use the
formula:
=VLOOKUP(A1,YourTable,2,0)
To return the value from column D:
=VLOOKUP(A1,YourTable,3,0)
etc.

Hello all...
here is my situation:
On Sheet2 of my workbook I have a set of data that starts at B3:B9. Next
to
column "B" I have column "C-F" with data that corresponds to each row of
"B".
For example:

B2=Stock C-F2=price,PE, etc...

I have highlighted the stocks listed in column "B" and defined a name for
them.

On Sheet1 I have gone through the validation and set up the pull down menu
where I can select the stock from Sheet2.

But my question is how can I set it up so that when I choose the a stock
from the pull down list in the adjacent columns it returns the values from
columns C-F?

I know this is a round about way to ask a question, I just want to provide
as much information as possible.

Thank you all so much,
Confused Man
