Default Value look up

Assume Sheet1 contains the table of data, in columns A to D, and that
your drop-down is in B1 of Sheet2. Put these formulae in the cells
stated:

B2: =VLOOKUP(B$1,Sheet1!A:D,2,0)

B3: =VLOOKUP(B$1,Sheet1!A:D,3,0)

B4: =VLOOKUP(B$1,Sheet1!A:D,4,0)

You can see that the formulae are very similar - the only thing that
changes is the third parameter, which determines which column to get
the data from (and you could change this to ROW() if you are using the
same setup as I suggest).

Hope this helps.
