    Need to fill in one cell based on results of drop down

    I have searched the forum and can't quite figure this out. I have created a drop down that lists office names (the city that the office is in). I the cell below the drop down, I want it to automatically fill in the office address when I select the city from the drop down. How can I do this? Thanks!

    Use a vlookup...

    I assume you have a table somewhere of cities and associated office addresses

    If drop down is in A1 and table is in X1:Y100

    then =Vlookup(A1,X1:Y100,2,FALSE)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    That worked, thanks. Vlookup was the first thing I had tried, but was getting N/A errors, so I thought I couldn't do a vlookup on a drop down result. Since you said it should work, I deleted my drop down and started over, and it worked perfectly. After I've spent HOURS trying to figure it out - aaaargh! Thanks so much for the quick reply!
