    Enter name & row fills with data



    I currently copy data from the internet and paste the information into excel onto my Database tab. Once I paste it into my xls file, I have a Macro that changes this data from words to numbers. (Example: Terrible = 1, Good = 6, etc).

    On my next tab (Player_Info_Temp), I have each cell linked to the Database tab. I linked it so it falls into line how I want to see it.

    However, players are not the same on each team. So what I want to happen is ... on my next tab (which is called Team), I would like to use a drop down box (or something) that allows me to enter only the player's name in cell B1 & once his name is entered then his skills (listed in a single row on a prior tab) should be auto-entered into cells B2 thru B21.

    I think I could use "Find" or something, but I don't really know formulas that well.

    Is there something I can do to make this easier? ...Or am I completely insane?

    I'll attach the file in ZIP form so you can see what the heck I'm trying to do...

    Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

    *Edited*

    Ok, I found something more out. Trial and error baby!

    I entered this formula into a cell on my Team tab ::

    =IF(C74="","",MATCH(C74,$C$1:$C$67,0))

    So, basically it will tell me where the player is in the list. Now I'm going to figure out how to run a macro to get that specific line entered where I want it to enter.

    Sorry for the multiple edits, but I'm still trying to figure this out on my own too.

    Thanks.



    *****UPDATE*****

    Ok, so I'm currently looking into the VLOOKUP function. I think that will solve my problem. Sorry again for the edit, but I don't want to reply to my post.

    Thanks...

    Angry

    I figured it out, but I don't know why #VALUE continues to show up if there is no data in the row. Only formulas are there. Can you help me out with this now?

    Sorry ... I've attached the file if you want to see what I'm talking about.

    Thanks.

    Maybe

    =IF(ISERROR($N74+$Q74+$R74+$S74),0,$N74+$Q74+$R74+$S74)
