Default Problem with Pick List associated cell

One idea, use a formula in a col adjacent to the DV pick list

Let's say your pick list as posted is in B2 down
You could have this in say C2, copied down:
=IF(B2="","",MID(B2,SEARCH("$",B2)+1,99)+0)
Format col C as currency to taste

The above relies on searching for the "$" in the pick list's string, then
stripping all the numbers after the "$" using MID. The last "+0" bit is to
coerce the resulting text numbers (as MID returns it as text) to real
numbers.

Can anybody help me with this issue. I am trying to select an item from a
pick list and be able to automatically copy the adjacent cell value to
another cell.


Example:

This is the pick list

PAPER HOLDER - LEVEL I (CHROME) $2.80
TOWEL BAR - 24" LEVEL I (CHROME) $2.80
TOWEL BAR - 18" LEVEL I (CHROME) $2.80


Once I choose the item to fill in another cell location, I want the
adjacent price to automatically fill in another cell location as well.
