You could use data validation for the drop down boxes..
See Here.

Then the VLOOKUP function for the prices.
for example your information is contained Sheet2 A2:C50
A B C
1 Clothing type Material Cost
2 Jumper Wool £3
3 Shirt Silk £5
Your formula might look like this (assuming your drop down lists are in
Sheet1
cell A2 (Clothing type) Cell B2 (Material)
In Sheet1 cell C2 type...
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A2:C50,3,0)
This will return the following...
If Jumper is selected from the first drop down list cell C2 will show £3.
Hope this helps,

I am trying to create an order form where column A has a drop down box to
choose an item and column B has a drop down box to choose a category.
Depending on the choices selected I need to create variable prices.
ie if A = jumper, B = wool then C = £3, but if A = shirt, B = silk then C = £5
Can anyone help me please
