this is a stupid question i know, but please help. i have 2 columns
containing corresponding data, i.e. cell a6 contains the item i sell, cell
b6
the price of that item. i have 148 different items, with 148
corresponding
prices - in cells a6 through a154, corresponding with cells b6..b154. i
want
to create a drop down list in, say column d, where the contents of column
a
is displayed via the drop down list in each of the cells in my list in
column
d (cells a6..a148). what i then want is when i select, say the
"doorbell",
in the dropdown list of my cell d12 in column d that the price of the
doorbell is automatically displayed next to d12 in e12. how do i do it?
thanks.
