Automating Address Information based on selecting data via a validation list
 

I would like to know the easiest method for populating mailing address
information based on selection of data from a validation selection
list. In column A, I have a validation selection list with one of
several 2 digit city codes. For instance, CL for Cleveland. After the
user selects CL, I would like Cleveland to populate Column B, Ohio to
populate Column C, and 44312 to populate column C.

I appreciate any help!

Use Data Validation for in-cell drop-down for selecting a city code and VLOOKUP
for the filling-in part.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for more on VLOOKUP and Data
Validation lists for entering the choices.

Since you already hav the DV list you can ignore the following if you choose.

Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list.
