Hi All

Afternoon

In table sample below : I want my drop down list of Offences in ( Column A) and when the Offence is select the Points for that offence in ( Column B ) & Type offence in ( Column C ) both automatically get select into these columns after choosing a drop down in column A that relates to the number of point and type.

Can this be done by an excel formula and which is the easiest way to get the result below:

A (Drop Down Selected)​
B (Auto Points update)​
C (Auto Type Selected)​
OffencePointsType Offence
Bad Tyre's5Car
Failed mot15Car
