Brodie ...

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?
