What excel function can I use in making a form that auto populate
My boss asked me to make an estimation sheet form. In one of the colums, I
was asked to make a drop down list for all our 48 A/C products to eliminate error. For every product, I have the corresponding value for horse power, Cap. BTU and Pwr.KW. My boss wants that these cells/fields be automatically be populated once the engineer chooses the A/C product from the list. I dont know the function to use and how to do it. I desperately need your help. Thanks! -- thanks =) |

You could use the Vlookup() function.

Go here and create the list the same way
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html then assume that you put this dropdown in A1 assume that the list is in S2:V50 with the product name starting in S2 and the specifications in adjacent cells In a cell probably on the same row adjacent to the dropdown in A1 (in our example that would be B1) put =IF(A1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,S2:V50,2,0) in C1 put =IF(A1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,S2:V50,3,0) in D1 put =IF(A1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,S2:V50,4,0) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Frandonn28" wrote in message ...
