Default Excel Lists - get an item in a list to automatically bring in info

I am using a list to select an item - with that item is certain specification
that need to appear for doing come calculations. I tried with the IF
statement and it work but only for seven items and I have about 25 items that
it needs to recognize. What would an easier way of accomplishing this be?

Thanks for any help.

Use VLOOKUP() to get the specification once the value has been pick up from
the list.
