Creating a function that will automatically fill the cells in an entire row.

Copper Contributor

I am trying to save time imputing data by setting up a system that will automatically fill out an entire row of data based on a serial number typed into the first cell in that row.  I am imputing ingredients into a recipe.  When I enter the recipe number in A1 I would like it to automatically fill A2,A3,A4, etc with memorized amounts.  For example if I type in SRP1 in Cell A1, A2 will say 8,000, A2 would be 2,300, A3 would be 500 and A4 would be 56.  If I type in SRP2, it would fill the cells with different amounts that go with SRP2.

@j_rags_30 You need to create a lookup table first and then you may use FILTER and/or XLOOKUP (since you tagged Office365) to fill the cell in A2 and down based on what's in A1.

Exactly how depends on the structure of the worksheet and data.
