    Hi anupambit1797 ,

     

    Please, check if it works for you. Note that I removed your select list and just added a Data Validation containing the list of CHBW from Sheet2, just to make the connection with B13 easier (let me know if this change is a possibility for your use). 

     

    The formula is a VLOOKUP, but I added an IFERROR just to prevent a "#N/A" result if you let the cell empty.

     

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B13, Sheet2!A2:B11, 2, FALSE), "")

     

    Let me know if it helps or if you need any changes on the file.

Thanks rzaneti, yes it works 🙂
Also, is it possible to use OFFSET function in B8 to achieve this?

I wouldn't recommend using OFFSET for this, since it is a volatile function. But if you must:

 

=IFERROR(OFFSET(Sheet2!B1,MATCH(B13,Sheet2!A2:A11,0),0),"")

 

Better would be

 

=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!B2:B11,MATCH(B13,Sheet2!A2:A11,0)),"")
