Default Lookup function with drill down?

Hello!

I am creating and would like to have the following functionality within the
form.

I have the part description & part numbers on a separate worksheet in the
workbook.

I want to create a dropdown list on the invoice that lets me choose the part
description and will automatically fill the part number in the cell next to
it.

Help!
Thanks as always!

VLookup formula. There are instructions and examples he
