I am trying to create an invoice using excel. I have the invoice layed out
the way I want it and the drop-down list for the type put in, but I want to
be able to put in the type and it automatically puts in the description and
amount. I know this is possible because I have seen it on timesheets
developed in Excel. I am just not savvy enough to figure out on my own.
Please help.
