Default Drop down lists to transfer data between worksheets

I have one sheet with a list of countries and multiple data columns.
On a second sheet I have a graph to show this data for one selected country.
How can I insert a drop down list of the countries on the second sheet
and also transfer selected data for drawing on the graph?
At present I copy and paste the data.

Hello Patrick

Using Data Validation, you can quite easily create the dropdown list. For
detailed instructions, see he

To retrieve the data from the first sheet, a VLOOKUP function will suffice.
