Lists- Simple Question
 

I have a drop-down list created with my account numbers. When I select an
account number from the drop-down list, I would like for the account name to
appear in the cell to the right of the cell with the account number. Any help
would be great! THANK YOU!

Lists- Simple Question
 

Use VLOOKUP
Assuming your drop down is in A1 in sheet 1 and your account no and names
data is in Sheet 2, COl A & B
then enter this in B1 of sheet 1;
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)

Enter this in B1 on Sheet 2
then enter this in B1 of sheet 1;
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:B,2,FALSE)

You may have to hit F9 to force recalculation.

Updated file sent to you...

Here is the response...

You were using =VLOOKUP($B$9,'Chart of Accounts'!A2:B40,2,FALSE) in C9 and
copying it down. Since $B$9 implied 'Absolute Reference' it does not change
to B11, B12, as it should. Also you used A2:B40 ('Relative Reference) which
changed to A4:B42 when copied...

You should use;
==VLOOKUP(B9,'Chart of Accounts'!$A$2:$B$40,2,FALSE)
