VBA Button to fill in data based off dropdown list value

I have 10 rows of data with one of the columns called "Type". This column has either "Primary" or "Secondary" entered in. I then have a column at the end called "Provider" that needs to be filled in based off the functions of my "Primary" button. The button essentially will fill in the "Provider" column for all the "Primary" rows with whatever the value is selected in the dropdown list next to the button. The dropdown list has different telecom providers that the user can select. Is this possible at all? I tried a vlookup but unfortunately it only filled in the first cell that was labeled as "Primary" and not all of them.
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
It may help more if you were to tell us column 8 or column 10 not say column Type and
Provider


And you said:
value is selected in the dropdown list next to the button

So how are we to know where the button is?
It would be better to say dropdown list in column B

Sorry, that would make more sense. Column Type is Column 1 and Column Provider is column 4. Not sure why it would matter where the button is but the dropdown list is C16.

Hope this helps!

Thanks.

You also said:
I have 10 rows of data

I assume this means Rows 1 to 10
Is that correct?

This script does this:
When you run this script

The script looks in column A and when it finds the value in Range("C16")
It copies that value from Column A and puts that value in next empty cell in Column D

Hope this is what you wanted.
If not please explain again.
Code:
Sub Check_Provider()
'Modified  10/2/2018  2:07:23 AM  EDT
Dim r As Range
Dim Lastrow As Long
Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row + 1
    For Each r In Range("A1:A10")
        If r.Value = Range("C16").Value Then r.Copy Cells(Lastrow, "D"): Lastrow = Lastrow + 1
    Next
End Sub

Back to my original example, they select the provider in C16 and then it should fill in all the rows in Column 1 that say primary and put the name of the provider selected in C16 in the last column. Does this make sense?

No I still have a problem understanding:
You said:
and then it should fill in all the rows in Column 1 that say primary

Fill in the rows with What?

And then you said:
and put the name of the provider selected in C16 in the last column.

Well we are back to not saying what column. I assume you mean column 4


So if the cell in column 1 Says primary fill the cell with the value selected in C16
Is that what you want?
