Default Automatically fill cells when selecting from a drop down list

Hi - I want adjacent cells to automatically fill in when I select an item
from a drop down list. For example, my list contains Manager, Supervisor; GA
and if I click 'Manager' I want certain corresponding cells to autofil and if
I click 'GA' I want other cells to fill. Can anyone help??? Thanks

Hi,

Please refer to Excel's VLOOKUP() function. Please type VLOOKUP() function
in Excel's Help menu.

Default Automatically fill cells when selecting from a drop down list

Hi Ashish - thanks for your prompt reply - can I just check something? For
example if have a list of training courses going across the colums and I've
created a drop down list of job roles. What I want to happen is, if I click
Manager then a 'YES' is automatically entered into the cells under all the
training courses that a manager should do? Is it still VLOOKUP I should be
trying to master? Thanks again!
