Auto-fill contact details

I have a 'drop-down' column with lots of different suppliers (Company Names) in the drop-down list.

My next column is 'supplier contact', next column ' supplier contact number'.


Is it possible to get the 2 adjacent columns to auto-fill with the correct contact and contact number according to the company name selected ?

I understand I'll need to input the details the first time, but want to automate it.

Thank you for any help.

    Basically you would build out a table that has the Supplier, Contact, and Contact Number listed out in the rows.


    Then you would use a formula such as

    =INDEX({Table Sheet Contact Column}, MATCH(Supplier@row, {Table Sheet Supplier Column}, 0))


    Then update the second range to cover the Contact Number column in the table.
