Default drop down list/box that has formula built in for other cells

Hello

I am trying to create a drop down list. I can get list but I want to take
it a bit further. Example:

A1 will have a Drop Down List located in it. When I selecte a item in the
drop down I want it to put information assigned to in in another cell.
Example: Cell A1 will have a drop down list, If I selected 5 horse Power in
my list, I want 30 Amps to be placed in A2.

Thanks for any help
Terry

instructions in Excel's help, and he

To return the related information for the selected item, you can use a
VLookup formula. There are instructions and examples he

There's a sample file that uses Data Validation and VLookup formulas he

Under Data Validation, look for 'Order Form'
