Default Cell drop menu


Here is what I want to do:

I have created a drop menu for cells in my worksheet so I can select an
item fro the list without typing it in everytime. When I select the item
from the drop menu I want the horizontally adjacent cells to be filled
in automaticly with the corresponding information. Excel won't let me
name more than 1 row or colum so I don't know how to do this or if it
is even possible.

Please help

Thanks

The usual method of achieving this is to use a VLOOKUP table.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for instructions on what to do and how to set up the
table.
