How do I link 4 columns to each other
It's not clear to me how you want this to work. Is column 1 cell a Data
Validation, as you say "Click" and select the name and where are the other details; what you mean by "pop up". Sorry to be so dim ... but perhaps an sample of data might clarify it (at least for me!)

How do I link 4 columns to each other
Hi Toppers
Oops, yes I think i did not make it clear enough. Sorry 'bout that. I am currently sitting with a worksheet of about 30 columns. The problem is, all of these columns are sort of linked to each other. Meaning, 8 columns have Personal Details Split up, whereas, if I can put it all into one column and have sort of a heading and a sub-heading. Hmmmmm... I am not sure if you would understand what I want. I know what I want but I am finding it difficult to explain in Words. Trying again! Column 1 should have Name and Surname Column 2 Personal Details (Age, Address, ID Nr, Gender, Race, etc) Column 3 Training (X, Y, Z Results) Column 4 Test (1,2,3,4,) If I example select the name Jenny Jacobs in column 1, then column 2,3 & 4 must automatically reflect all details linked to Jenny. Hope this makes sense? I am trying a PIVOT and hope there is an easir option. Is there????? Thanks B's Space "Toppers" wrote: It's not clear to me how you want this to work.

How do I link 4 columns to each other
Hi mate, Sorry to jump on your thread but I am after the same thing. Basically I run a Fantasy football league and have a spreadsheet for people to choose there teams. When they select a player from a list in column A (player name) I would like their club and value to appear in columns B & C without them having to select them separately Example: Cech - Chelsea - 4.8 (when they select Cech, Chelsea & 4.8 appear in cells B & C) Thanks to anyone that can help. -- hardyz2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hardyz2's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36534 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=562807 |

I will point you to a valuable source of assistance on the VLOOKUP function and
examples of its use. Debra Dalgleish has instructions, examples and downloadable workbook. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlFunctions02.html You may also want to explore the use of Data Validation drop-down list to pick your item from. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlDataVal01.html Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 19 Jul 2006 08:06:02 -0700, B''s Space wrote: Hi hardy Yes, that is exactly what I want...
