Assuming you know how to create the drop-down list from, say, column A...
Let's say that's in D1. then, in E1, write:

=VLOOKUP(D1,A2:B8,2,FALSE)

Does that do it?

How many Item Name do you have? If you have a lot, say more than 100, then instead of data validation I suggest you use a searchable combobox, so for example, if you type ‘lamp’ in the combobox then only items with ‘lamp’ will be shown.
As for filling the next column with the item code, it can be done using ‘Worksheet_Change’ event.
If you’re interested in this method, just let me know, I can create an example for you.
You can try the searchable combobox example (but without filling the next column part) in this thread:

Sir, Item_Master is in sheet named Master and dropdown list need to be in Data2 Sheet column H(Item Name) column I(Item Code). so how VLOOKUP FOURMULA WILL CHANGE.

Ok, here’s an example:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2w9an0lriz53nfm/Book555 - searchable combobox.xlsm?dl=0

Note:

• The combobox will be used in range "H2:H20", you may change that in this part of the code:

'range where you want to use the combobox (blue area)
Private Const xCell As String = "H2:H20"

• I use vlookup formula in col I sheet Data2, you may change it to suit.

• To understand how the searchable combobox work you can read the instruction in the sample workbook :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1sbmp3lm...t to cell, search as type - example.xlsm?dl=0

You can replace the formula with this:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(H2,Master!A$2:B$10000,2,FALSE),"")
