    Drop Down List to Autofill cells

    Greetings!

    I am not sure if this is possible but, I would like to auto-fill cells based on what I select from a drop down list.

    For Example:

    Drop Down List is located in A1(already created). Let's say it lists items like bathroom,front of building, dinning room etc.

    I have created on sheet 2 a list of responsibilities for each item on the drop list. The list has a header for example bathroom and a below it list the responsibilities. I did this for every item on the drop list.

    Now, is it possible to select bathroom from the drop down land when selected the list I created in sheet 2 show up in the cell next to bathroom? Also, is it possible to have this happen every time i select a different item from the drop down list?

    Thank you,

    Jenn

    Yes it's possible. Can you upload a small sample workbook?
