Hey all, I have a worksheet with a drop down menu in one cell for my user to pick a sink bowl from a list of available sink bowls.

Depending on their selection I'd like to lookup the name they selected into a table and pull a formula from an adjacent column. How can I get the formula to come over.

If they chose Undermount Sink Hi-Macs HM-BLS-1612 I'd like my lookup cell to be "=0,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(-12.75,0,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(-15,-2.25,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(-15,-12.75,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(-12.75,-15,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(12.75,-15,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(15,-12.75,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(15,-2.25,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(12.75,0,L!Thickness_Countertop),Pnt(0,0,L!Thickness_Countertop))"

Here is my lookup table below.

Hi if you still need this here is my answer it's the same as my past project.
1. you need to create a database of your items. sample
sample1.xlsx
ABCDE
1SinkTypical SetbackWidthLengthPine for stone cut out
2Model 1310020100
3Model 252002030
4Model 3251002525

database


2. create a Search sheet on the same workbook.
sample1.xlsx
ABCDEF

RangeFormula
B5:E5B5=IFERROR(UNIQUE(INDEX(FILTER(database!A:E,database!A:A=Search!C2),SEQUENCE(5),{2,3,4,5}))," ")
Dynamic array formulas.
Cells with Data Validation
CellAllowCriteria
C2:E2List=database!$A$2:$A$14
