hi community

i wanted to create a "Pick List" that reference data from another worksheet
in the same workbook
example:

sheet 1

A B C D

1 Budget Condo 4 rms $200000

2 Spender Penthouse 6 rms $400000

Sheet 2

In sheet2, I wanted to create a Pick List that when select, eg, "Budget", it
will display out the information that is pointing to Sheet 1!A1:D1

is there ways to do?

I able to do a simple Pick List using the vlookup() but only return a single
column in the same worksheet , however, now I want the return to be more than
1 column and data is from another worksheet??

any help much appreciated :)

thanks community for assistance :)

Check out VLOOKUP function.

Better yet.................

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.
