Combo box

Is it possible in Excel to create a list box/combo box and after selecting 1
entry populate next columns with values. For ex. after selecting name
populate column b with home phone number and column c with work number.

Possible. One way is using VLOOKUP().

Hi,

1. First I would create you combo box using Data, Validation, and picking
List under Allows, and referr to a range containing the list in the Source
box, for example, =AA1:AA50
2. in AB1:AB50 enter the items you want to return in the column next to the
combo box.
3. If the Data, Validation list is in A1 then in B1 use something like
=VLOOKUP(A1,AB1:AB50,2,FALSE)
