I make a roster for my work with multiple items for each person. An example
of what I am looking to do: In cell A1, I have a drop down menu with all
employee's names. Cell B1 is for their ID number and cell C1 is for their
radio ID #. I wanted to see if their was a way for when I select a name in
the drop down menu of A1 for B1 and C1 to automatically fill with that
employees' respective ID numbers?
 
Hi

Let's say you have a list of employees with their relevant numbers on Sheet2
in cells A2:Cxxx

With your dropdown list in cell A2 of Sheet1, enter the following in B2
=if(A2="","",VLOOKUP(Sheet2!$A:$C,$A2,COLUMN(B2),0))
copy the formula across to cell C2 and then copy B2:C2 down the page as far
as required
