    Dropdown list bringing adjoining cell data

    Hi, I have a dropdown list populated by another worksheet using a dynamic named list (inventory).

    I would like to have cells adjoining my dropdown box automatically populate when I make a selection from the list using the data in cells adjoining that item in the other workbook (in this case specs on that inventory item).

    Can you help?

    Re: Dropdown list bringing adjoining cell data

    I have attached an example. The 'inventory' spreadsheet has data that I wish to access - specification for various solar panel choices.

    The 'Data Output' spreadsheet has a dropdown box where I select a panel model. I would like the appropriate specs to then wizz across to fill in the adjoining cells on the Data Output table.

    How does that sound? Can't be too hard...
