I am creating a validation to link to a list of account numbers. Each
account number is has a company name, address, etc. As the user drops the
list down to select an account number I would like to other cells to populate
with ‘name of company,’ ‘contact,’ ‘address,’ and ‘telephone number,’ etc.
Each of these items must populate in different cells. How do I link a drop
down list validation in one cell to multiple cells that will populate after
the user selects an account number? Thank you for your help. Jason
