Forms, Dropdowns, and Automated Information
 

Okay, so a complicated title to say this:

I need to be able to choose an item from a dropdown, and have them fill
in automatically. Example:

List Item (Cell A1) --- Number of Legs (Cell A3) --- Color (Cell A4)
Chair --- 4 --- Blue
Dog --- 4 --- Black
Stool --- 3 --- Green
Human --- 2 --- Various

I would like to be able to use text and values... if I can only use
values, that's fine... but I prefer to be able to use text as well. I
actually have a formula that will be inserting anywhere from 5 to 10
numbers. The numbers never change... but there are over 350 items to
list. EG: Chair would always contain 4 legs, and always be blue.

Hopefully I've been clear. Please advise. Thanks!
