Looking for a little help as to how to do this.

I want to create a drop down menu (which is the easy part) that will allow me to select a word from the drop down menu, lets say for example A1 Contains the drop down menu, and populate B1, C1,D1, E1 etc with particular information pertaining to the word selected in A1.

Using Open Office 4.1.3 if that helps.

I'm NO expert, but I've used multiple (nested) IF statements in EXCEL to do similar things.

Typical IF statement:
=IF (A1=1, "GOOD", "BAD")

Meaning if the number in cell A1 is 1, then the word GOOD appears in the chosen cell. And if the number in A1 is not 1, then the word BAD appears.

Where the condition to be desired is the test-- A1=1
After The first comma then is the TRUE result
and after the second comma is the FALSE result

So "nesting" these would be like that, but changing the False result to another IF statement.

Good example shown here (for grading scale in school):

Again, not sure about Open Office, but works with some serious forethought in Excel....

And you may have to set up each field to be auto populated with the same formulas... so a lot of labor may be involved... but at least it's a starting point , maybe.

If any of my nerd buddies tell me more, I'll let ya know...
