    Auto Populate with Data Validation

    Hi,

    Can you please help me on a formula that would auto populate cells based on a choice from a list using data validation?

    TIA!

    What you would need to do is--do a vlookup with the lookup value as the cell with data validation.

    Sorry 'bout that Bob,

    I'm attaching an edited file...

    What I'm hoping to happen is that, the cells highlighted in yellow will auto populate
    upon choosing a "Mode of Payment" from data validation list.

    Thanks.

    gshocker08,

    I think you mean HLOOKUP, but that would only return 1 item from the list.

    thanks.

    Use

    =IF(INDEX(List!B:D,ROW($A3),MATCH(Selection!B$3,List!$1:$1,0)-1)=0,"",INDEX(List!B:D,ROW($A3),MATCH(Selection!B$3,List!$1:$1,0)-1))
