How do I link 2 data sets to 2 drop down menus?
 
I created 2 drop down menus, but I want to link the data to these menus and I
don't know how. I can send my spreadsheet to someone if they can look at it

No need to send anything.

Describe your ranges.............where are the drop-downs and where is your data
stored and where do you want the changes to take place?

e.g. dropdown in A1.......data table in F1:H25

Data to be returned to C1

Are you using Data Validation Drop-downs?
