Default Auto Fill Cells, When Choosing From Drop-Down List...


What i am looking to do is in cell A28 (which is a drop-down list
comprised of cells A2-A27) when someone selects a person from that
list, cell B28 auto fills with the corresponding cell in column C,found
on the sheet labeled Bios. As you can see i have tried doing it with
the IF function, but have realized that it has a limit as to how many
if functions you can perform. Any help in the matter would be greatly
appreciated. Please take a look at my example excel workbook.

Hi!

Try this in cell B28:

=VLOOKUP(A28,Bios!A2:C4,3,0)
