dependants for a drop down list
Assume ID# is column C, with first name in column A and last name in
column B etc., and that your drop-down is in M2, then this will retrieve the first name: =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(M2,C:C,0)) and this will get the last name: =INDEX(B:B,MATCH(M2,C:C,0)) and so on for your other fields. Hope this helps.

I don't quite understand. Can you elaborate, and ideally post an
example of what you are trying to do.
