ahhh, use the Validated List in one column and then do a VLOOKUP in the
adjacent column! Now I've got it! Thanks, Myrna!

Check out the VLOOKUP function in Help. You can use a named range for your
list/table, and if you insert new rows within it (rather than tacking stuff on
at the end), the definition of the name will update automatically.

FYI - I know I could use a series of Nested IF statements but I'd like to be
able to add to my list fairly easily.

Thanks in advance!!!

I would like to put a short name like "BILL" in column C and have it return
a
whole block of preentered text about Billing. I need a validated Lookup
where I choose the "short name" and the text is returned from somewhere
hidden on the sheet.

I think I need to determine what shows in a cell based on the value in an
adjacent cell. Any ideas?

Thanks
