    Drop Down List Address

    I am currently working on a basic booking form using Excel 2007 for use in a small office dealing with a dozen bookings per day.

    To speed up the process in the bookings I have created a drop-down list of all the schools that are stored on the database - currently over 2000. For these schools I have all the addresses for them stored on a the spreadsheet.

    I would like to know how I can get the addresses for the appropriate schools to appear when a user clicks on that school from the drop-down list - in the address fields below.

    One further question, how is possible within the drop down list, for a user to click on a letter of the alphabet and the list goes to that letter - instead of having to scroll down and look for the school?

    Many thanks.

    You will have to use a Combobox for Autocomplete...

    See here: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html

    Once you created that and selected an option, use Vlookup() to get the address...

    e.g. =Vlookup(A1,X1:Y100,2,0)


    Where A1 contains your combo box selection and X1:Y100 contain table of names and addresses.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
