auto populate cell based on previous cell drop down list selectio.
I am trying to auto populate data in a cell based on the selection in the
previous column. I have created two lists - one with the name and one with a number that is associated with that name. In my data entry fields, I would like to be able to select the name from the "name list" (I have done this already), but then I would like the number data entry field to auto populate to the number associated with the name in the lists that I have created. Any help would be greatly appreciated |

auto populate cell based on previous cell drop down list selectio.
Use a VLOOKUP / HLOOKUP formula that takes the value given by the dropdown
list and uses it to lookup for the other value.... "PuzzledbyLists" wrote: I am trying to auto populate data in a cell based on the selection in the previous column.

There are instructions here for VLookup:
http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html And a sample order form that uses VLookup formulas to complete customer information: http://www.contextures.com/xlOrderForm01.html PuzzledbyLists wrote: I am trying to auto populate data in a cell based on the selection in the previous column.
