Generate a value from user selection in list box.
 

I have created a dropdown list box that allows the user to select only one of
the items contained in it. How do I generate a corresponding value in
another cell that depends on the user selection in the list box?

Generate a value from user selection in list box.
 

Is it a Data Validation drop-down?

If so, maybe the info at Debra Daleish's site can help.

Gord read your question as looking for *another list* to be the result of a
choice from the first list.

If you're just looking for a *single* data value to be the result of a
choice from that first list, then try this link from the same web site, but
from a different page on Vlookup, where you'll need to set up a datalist to
contain your choices:
