Auto-Populate Cells From Drop-Down Selection in Excel (3 steps)

How to automatically populate cells based on what's in another cell. This concept is used for all kinds of templates or fillable forms. In this example, I show you how to use VLOOKUP to populate customer data fields based on the customer name selected with a drop-down. With this, we're creating a semi-automatic order confirmation form🏆

Hi, this video is great, and I am doing something similar however my "customer name" which is "cables" to me has multiple tables for different types, then based on each table there is different sizes. Is there a way to select a certain table, then from there list only the sizes in that table and select which one?

[@andrewvoepel]

Say I want to have that formula carry down a table, what would I add into it? So instead of having just a single Customer Name cell I have Customer Name as a header and Customer Address as a header and every time I select Customer Name it will auto populate the Customer Address. Thank you!

How do you do this when the cells are merged?
