How do you use a dropdown menu to enter data in mult. cells exce?

[Guest]

I am trying to use a dropdown selection in excel to pull data from a list on
another work sheet to fill in multiple cells.

If by dropdown you mean Data Validation, then name the range e.g. myrange, on
your other worksheet and in Data Validation select

Allow: List
Source : =myrange

Use Data Validation for in-cell drop-down for selecting an item and VLOOKUP
for filling in the other cells.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for more on VLOOKUP and Data
Validation lists for entering the choices.

Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list.
