Hi guys,

 

I am doing a project in which I I have a drop down that chooses from a lists of names on a table, and I want for the drop down to fill in the rest of the table with a vlookup.

I attached a demo of the spreadsheet.

Sp basically I want the information from the data tab to populate in each column when I choose the client name.

Also,  the names duplicate in the drop down.

Eventually this will be a Power Query project .

Hi Robert

Give this a try. The ranges are not dynamic so you will need to adjust them to your needs.

Please note that the formulas are array formulas.

I have temporarily used a PivotTable to get the unique name from the data for the Data Validation list.

Good luck

Sunny

Hi Sunny,

 

Actually I have a question.  I am trying to get the formula to work on a data sheet feeding from a query.  Will the formula change if I am using a query sheet?

 

I'm having issues copying the formula to the final project.

Hi Robert

I am not familiar with QUERY. Maybe others may be able to help.

Sorry.

Thanks Sunny,

 

Actually the issue was that I wasn't closing the array with ctrl+shift+enter.

 

Did that and it worked.   Thanks again!
