I have a forms combo box /dropdown that I use the index function with to read 150 rows each containing 8 columns from another worksheet. It then shows the selected cells on the worksheet that contains the dropdown.
What I want to be able to do is to use the combo box and when I make the selection instead of using the index function to show the data in the cell, I want to copy and paste the data into the cell.
I believe this will require the use of a macro to take the information from the dropdown and then copy and paste it into the correct locations.
I am open to any way of doing this as long as the data is copied and not just linked.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Macro to copy and paste

I asked this question a couple of days ago and never received a response so thought I would try again.
