Using the data validation I created a drop down list. The formual I used is =VLOOKUP(K2,A1:A20,2). The list has several codes associated with name of places in A1:A20. When you pick a code in K2, it will display one of the cities from A1:A20 in K1 cell. I need K2 to also display what is showing b1:b20 and c1:c20 in K3 and K4 cells. Also some cites could have more than one data associated, for example los angeles could listed 3x times with different values. Which I would need for cells to update k3, k4, and k5 when a code is selected in k2.

Basically when the code is selected in k2, it not only needs to update the name of places in k1, it needs to update K3, K4, and K5 with the values from b1:b20 and c1:c20.
 
Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook?


1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.


2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).


3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).


4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.


Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
 
Thank you I attached a mockup

Hi and welcome
Please,do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
If you have fewer than 10 posts here, you will not be able to post a link, but you must still tell us where else you have asked the question

Do not post any further responses in this thread until a link has been provided to these cross posts.
 
This is hilarious, what you are police officer? Maybe you should call crimestoppers???
 
If you read the link enclosed in Pecoflyer's post, you would understand what standard courtesy is on public forums. What he has asked of you as a moderator is standard across every Excel forum you find on the internet. If you expect volunteers on these forums to help you then you must abide by forum rules and respect their time.
 
If you don't care to abide by forum rules, I suggest you search elsewhere.
