I would suggest a dynamic LOOKUP range instead of A$3:D19 on your Labor Rates
sheet so's it would accomodate newly inserted employees.
Also, perhaps VLOOKUP would be better.
=VLOOKUP(B8,'Labor Rates'!myrange,column,false)
To set up a dynamic range(myrange), see Debra Dalgleish's site.

I have a sheet for all my job costing SHEET 1.
I have a sheet with my employees and wages LABOR RATES.
I have set up the formula LOOKUP(B8,'Labor Rates'!A$3:D19) in sheet 1 so
once I choose the employee from the dropdown box their wage matches.
But my problem is when I add a new employee into my LABOR RATES and their
wage, their name is added to my dropdown list in SHEET 1 and when I choose
the new one the wage is incorrect?
What am I missing?
thanks tb
