I am trying to create a table that houses when a person makes a request. I have one field where they select their name from a drop-down list. What I would also like to do is have fields update with that person's phone number and email address. I have everyone listed in a table with contact info. Is there a way to get a field in a table to perform a lookup in a different table to do this?

This is what I tried so far, but all it does is create a drop-down list and it seems to only include the first email address in the contact table. Is there another way to do this?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Create a combobox with three columns: Name, Phone Number and email address using the contact info table. On the On_Click() event procedure you can insert phone number and email address into their respective fields with a small vba routine that will run when the user clicks on the combobox to select the name. Sample program is given below:

Code:
Private Sub EmployeeCombo_Click()
     Me![Phone] = Me!EmployeeCombo.Column(1)
     Me![Email] = Me!EmployeeCombo.Column(2)
 End Sub
