From that site, what is it I'm looking for exactly? VLookUp stuff? or
Data
stuff? Which link would be the most helpful?

Thanks,

Ok, this may get slightly confusing, but I will try my best to
describe
the
problem clearly:

I have 4 worksheets that list different types of piping. Within each
of
these worksheets, I have different types of fittings along with
different
sizes for each of the fittings. So, my 4 worksheets look like this,
each
with
a differing name for the TYPE of PIPING:

"TYPE OF PIPING"
1 A B C D
2 Size1 Size2 Size3
3 -TypeA X X X
4 -TypeB X X X
5 -TypeC X X X ...etc


The problem I am having is that I create the 3 drop-down lists for
'Type
of
Piping', 'Type of Fitting', and 'Size' but I have no idea how to write
the
formula to pull the information I need.

I need Excel to see what was picked in the first drop-down list to go
to
the
worksheet, then what was picked from the second drop-down list to go
to
that
row, and then what was picked from the thrid drop-down list to go to
that
column, and give me that number.

If you need more specifics, please let me know what I can tell you to
help
you understand more. As I stated, I know it must be confusing to read,
but
any help will me greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
PC
