I don't quite understand. Can you elaborate, and ideally post an
example of what you are trying to do.

Assume ID# is column C, with first name in column A and last name in
column B etc., and that your drop-down is in M2, then this will
retrieve the first name:

=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(M2,C:C,0))

and this will get the last name:

=INDEX(B:B,MATCH(M2,C:C,0))

and so on for your other fields.

Hope this helps.
