Default Drop Down Box

Is there a way to make multiple cells fill in based on a selection in a drop
down box?

Default Drop Down Box

Maybe creating a table that has the values in the leftmost column and the values
to be retrieved in the 2nd through nth column.

Then you could use =vlookup()

=if(a1="","",vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:e,2,false))
