Create a drop down list which automatically inputs linked informat
Im creating a spreadsheet which allows me to track my orders and allows me to
manage my monthly budget. I have a table in Excel which has the product, order code, supplier and cost, called 'Clothes List', and in a separatee tab/worksheet called 'Order Tracking', I have the main table where I track the ordering process (date ordered, when received, order number etc). But, I want to be able to select the product I am ordering from a drop down list in 'Order Tacking' and then have the supporting information automatically input itself eg Product Supplier Order Refernce Cost Blue Dress Size 8 The Dress People B52 £19.87 Blue Dress Size 10 The Dress People R97 £19.87 Red Dress Size 12 The Dress People R68 £21.98 Red Dress Size 14 The Dress People K98 £21.50 Purple Trousers Size 16 Pants! PB78965 £15.99 Black Trousers Size 18 Pants! PB76543 £15.99 so when I select Red Dress size 14, from a drop down list, it automatically inputsThe Dress People, K98 and £21.50.... can anyone help? (my knowledge of excel is basic and goes as far as basic formulas) |

Try this... if I understand correctly.
Select three cell in the same row where you want the info to show and while selected, type in this formula, it will show only in the 'white' cell. Now hit Control Shift Enter. You will get curly brackets around the formulas... { }. (Don't put them there yourself.) =VLOOKUP(G1,Clothes_List,{2,3,4},0) Where G1 has a drop down list of the PRODUCT's - Blue Dress Size 8, etc., on the formula sheet. Where Clothes_List is the named range on the other sheet that contains the PRODUCT in the 1st column, the SUPPLIER in the 2nd, the ORDER REF in the 3rd and the COST in the 4th. If you modify the formula, you will need to select all three of the cells containing the formula, make your changes and then use Control Shift Enter to commit.
