Default Drop-down lists in vlookup

Is there another way of doing something like this with another type of
formula or something all together different.

vlookup table has

drop-down boxs

in each cell.
So now when i put the vlookup into another table the drop-down lists do not
come in. Only the text that displays in the vlookup table comes in. I would
like the drop-down lists in there so that i can change the Device type if so
desired from the list in the vlookup table.

I know how to make a vlookup and a dropdown list but i want to know if there
is a way to have the vlookup create a row of info but also allow a dropdown
list be in the middle of it so that you can have different options for
certain columns.
