Your formula ... =vlookup(B4,$R$2:$S$10,19,TRUE)
With Range ($R$2:$S$10) ... you only have 2 Cols ... but
your vlookup formula is calling for the 19th Col of the
Range ($R$2:$S$10)... can't be ...
Also ... I love vlookup, but for my applications I tend to
set TRUE to FALSE (or "0") ... Kha

Oops, type. Formula actually looks like this:
=vlookup(B4,$R$2:$S$10,19,TRUE)

OK, I tried that and I keep getting #N/A. Here's what
I have
.......R.................S.......................
1....SHIFT...........HOURS................
2....8-5...............8.....................
3....7-5...............9.....................
My drop down is in cell B4 and uses validation from the
above lists.
formula:
=vlookup(B4,$R$2:$S$10,2,TRUE)
All it will give me is a #N/A error.

Hi
then you can use the VLOOKUP function
assuming you have a table somewhere (maybe sheet 2)
with
...........A..................B................... ......C
1.....Shift...............Start Time............End
Time
2.....AM..............06:00....................... .18:00
etc
then with your drop down on sheet 1 cell A1
click in B1 (or where you want the start time
returned to) and type
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$10,2,0)
for the end time it would be
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$10,3,0)
hope this helps

Very close and thank you for the suggestion. I'm
not looking for a
dropdown
in the second cell. I want the second cell to auto-
populate with data
associated with what was selected in the drop down
in the first cell.

I'm creating a new sheet to assign shifts for my
employees. I want to
have a
drop down in one cell where I can pick shift
times then in the next
cell,
have the hours automatically picked in
assiciation with the shift.
I've
already created the drop down using validation
but am not sure how to
get
the
second cell to automatically picks the hours
associated with the shift.
Is
this a vlookup function or other?
