Auto fill adjacent cells
I would like to know if there is a way to autofill cells adjacent to other
cells. What I have are dealer ID numbers in one range of cells on a separate worksheet and their names in another range of cell on the worksheet named DealerID and DealerName. If I select their ID or fill in their ID number in one cell, I would like it to fill in the adjacent cell with their name. Is this possible or am I expecting too much and should try Access instead? Thanks, Ken |

Hi Ken,
yes you can do it but you need a data base where you have your ID and your name together then in another cell you can enter a formula like this and it will bring the name once the ID is typed =+VLOOKUP(A6,Dealername!A:B,2) I asumme that you have only 2 columns and the name is in the 2nd one "KenM" wrote: I would like to know if there is a way to autofill cells adjacent to other cells.

Thanks Eduardo:
If the first column has a drop down list so the person can either enter the number or select it from the list, will this still work?
