auto fill columns based on a selection
 
I have created a table with multiple columns. In one column I have created a
drop down menu of about 2100 items. When this item is selected I would like
3 other columns to automatically fill with the corresponding data. Thank you
for your help!!

Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list.
