Data Validation

[Guest]

One a drop-down box is created for selection can it populate multiple cells
with its selection. Can I create a table with 3 columns and populate 3 cells
when I make my drop down selection

It could be as simple as placing =A1 in all your cells
that you want he value to be in. (A1 is your drop down
cell).

Perhaps you could use data validation in one cell, then VLOOKUP formulas
to return the matching values in the adjacent cells. There are
instructions and examples here:

There's a sample invoice that uses data validation and VLookup formulas
here:

Under Data Validation, look for 'Invoice for Selected Number'
