How do I take data from a table (columns of names and
numbers) and write a formula so data from that table can appear in a specific
cell or group of cells?

Example (table contains three columns):
Column 1 Truck #'s Column 2 Driver #'s Column 3 Driver Names

(list of 15-20 rows for each column)

How do I write a formula in A2 that will populate the
truck # in A2 and their driver # in B2 and their name in c2? I don't need
every piece of data from the table in consecutive rows. Sometimes I need
the repeated in multiple rows.

Hi!

It depends on what this is intended to be used for.

This is my interpretation of what you want.

Use data validation dropdown lists in column A so you can
pick from a list the truck #'s. If a particular driver #
and driver name are always associated with the same truck
# then you can use VLOOKUP formulas to get the driver #
and name.

Or, if any driver can use any truck then maybe all you
want are a series of dropdown pick lists.
