Put this in D16:

=VLOOKUP(A16,A$2:B$6,2,0)

then copy down.

If you want it a bit more robust, then you will need something like
this:

=IF(A16="","",IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A16,A$2:B$6,2,0)),"" ,VLOOKUP(A16,A$2:B
$6,2,0)))

Hope this helps.

I am using Excel 2007 *and here is an simplified example of what I need..

* * Items * * * * Price

Potatoes * * * *4.35
Apples * * * * *5.55
Oranges * * * *7.95
Onions * * * * *4.55
Carrots * * * * 3.75

Items Column is List for Valid entries in table below

Prices are the numbers I want entered when I enter the Item

If I enter Oranges from Dropdown List in A16 , I want Excel to automatically
enter the number 7.95 3 columns over in D16,or if it is quite a bit easier,
just 1 column over in cell B16

Example of table I want:

My Entries: * * * * * * * *Excel Enters

A16 Carrots * * * * * * * D16 *3.75
A17 Oranges * * * * * * *D17 *7.95
A18 Onions * * * * * * * *D18 *4.55
A19 Onions * * * * * * * *D19 *4.55
A20 Potatoes * * * * * * *D20 *4.35

Thanks so much for your help !
