First of all you need to create a table with all this information where the
name column is the leftmost column, then in all adjacent cells to the right of the names there would be the rest of the info such as ID and manager etc, Best would be to put this table in a hidden sheet then extract the name list and hide it in the same sheet where you want this done. Assume you want the dropdown in A2, the rest of the info in B2, C2, D2 etc Assume you put the name list in column Z in Z1:Z250 (adapt to fit accordingly) Assume the table in the hidden sheet is called MyTable Select A2, do data Validation Allow List and put =$Z$1:$Z$250 in B2 put =IF(A2="","",IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,MyTable,2,0)),"No Match",VLOOKUP(A2,MyTable,2,0)) Use the same formula in C2 but change the 2 after MyTable to 3 and so on depending on how many columns you have in the table -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Sarah" wrote in message ... What information would you need to give a more precise answer? "Toppers" wrote: "Name" list could be done using Data Validation and cell population using VLOOKUP (or INDEX/MATCH). Need further details to give a more precise answer. "Sarah" wrote: I am looking to start having my department do our timecards electronically. What I would like to know is if there is any way to do the follow: When the employee opens up the template they are able to go the the "Name" field and choose their name from a list - than when they choose their name other fields are populated automatically, such as manager, employee ID.... is this possible? |
