Hello, I hope you can help.

I have a basic table with many rows but only four columns.
I have hidden this table from view and created a drop down
list so that column A is fixed based only on information
that is valid, because I put it there. What I want to
happen then is that columns B, C and D will update their
content directly based upon the data selected in column A.
Effectively the table will be duplicated but only for the
row of interest.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Hi
use VLOOKUP for this (if column A contains unique values.). e.g. in B1
on your second sheet enter
=IF(A1<"",VLOOKUP(A1,'hidden_sheet'!$A$1:$D$100,2 ,0),"")

Frank,

Thanks for your help. Is there a maximum number of IF's I
can use becuase I will have to brake down my column A data
if there is.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi
there's a mximum of 7 NESTED function calls. But why do you need more
IF clauses. I added the IF function only to check if A1 contains a
value at all. the rest is done by VLOOKUP.
