Default Specific keywords copying data to cells

The most straightforward way of doing what you ask is with a formula in
column c. For instance, you could enter this formula into C1 and copy it
down:
=IF(A1="Keyword", B1,"")
Then, if in the corresponding row in column A you type Keyword, the cell in
column C will display what is in column B's cell. If not, it will display
nothing (which is signified by "")

Hi there,

I'm not sure whether this is possible, but is there a way in which typing in
a specific word would result in information being copied from one cell into
another?

In simpler form: 'Keyword' typed into cell A (after verification) causes
data to duplicate from cell B into cell C.

Sorry to ask such a simple question, but any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks
