Reference info from multiple tables

Copper Contributor

Using data validation, I select 1 of 5 tables to get information on an item, but i cannot figure out how to get the rest of the information in the row in the selected table. H4 has the dropdown and B39 has the data validation, how do i get the rest of the info to populate?

Scott,

 

I used some helper cells at C55:D60:

1  
Paving Table_Paving_1
Iowa Table_Iowa
Nebraska Table_Nebraska
NonDOT Table_NonDOT
Rebar Table_Rebar

 

 

C55 =MATCH(H4,$C$56:$C$60,0)
E39 =VLOOKUP(B39,CHOOSE($C$55,Table_Paving_1[#All],Table_Iowa[#All],Table_Nebraska[#All],Table_NonDOT[#All],Table_Rebar[#All]),3,FALSE)
F39 =VLOOKUP(B39,CHOOSE($C$55,Table_Paving_1[#All],Table_Iowa[#All],Table_Nebraska[#All],Table_NonDOT[#All],Table_Rebar[#All]),4,FALSE)
