Use Data Validation for in-cell drop-down for selecting a plant and VLOOKUP
for the filling-in part. See Debra Dalgleish's site for more on VLOOKUP and Data Validation lists for entering the choices. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlFunctions02.html http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlDataVal01.html Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list.
