Auto populate an email address from a Drop down list choice

Kari G

I have a drop down list of Doctors names that staff pick from on a form (over 90 doctors). It will just be 1 name that is chosen from the list. I need the doctor's email address to populate in the sheet (not on the form) in the cell next to the name. I have a separate sheet with the doctor's names and email addresses. I cannot figure out the formula! Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi @Kari G

I hope you're well and safe!

You could use cross-sheet formulas combined with either a VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH structure to connect the sheets, and when you update the source sheet, it will reflect on the destination sheet.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

It did, I was trying to use and index/match and it just as not working. Using a VLOOKUP worked perfect!!!
