Auto populate a cell by comparing lists
Hi Group!
Back again to ask another question. You have helped me tremendously! I have a worksheet named "JobLogEntry", and col M has a dropdown with name selections from a named range from another worksheet named "Lists". The named range is "Contacts". Would it be possible to compare the name selected in the dropdown to another list of names that reside on worksheet "CustomerSurveyList", cols A and B (with col A being names, and col B being their tel ext and pager number) and that range combined has a named range "CustomerSurveyList", and if the dropdown name selected matches a name on that list, populate col N ("ext/pager" heading) on "JobLogEntry" with that name's ext/pager number from col B, "CustomerSurveyList"?? If I've caused any confusion, my apologies, but I'm the one who is most confused! Is there any way to accomplish this task? Thanks in advance for any and all help! Ken |

Ken enter in column N on "JobLogEntry". =VLOOKUP(M3, CustomerSurveyList, 2, FALSE) M3 name selected in your dropdown / data validation list 2 column in 'CustomerSurveyList' to return |
