What kind of combo box is it? Is it a Forms combo box or a Control Toolbox
combo box? You have to do the lookup based on the combo box linked cell. The
2 types of combo boxes use the linked cell differently.

A Forms combo box will return the selection *index number* to the linked
cell.

A Control Toolbox combo box will return the actual selection to the linked
cell.

I have a combo box in cell C2, with facility locations in it. In another
cell i want to either have an if statement if it matches the name put in
an
overhead rate or i could do a vlookup and have a hidden table in the
sheet.
Is there a way to do either of these on a combo box.
