Okay I have looked over contextures for how to do this. I know the answer is
there, but I cant figure it out, will someone please show me how to do this
without VB code. Please!

I want to use match and the offset command, I want to name a range of data
and pop it into a list validation cell.

Sheet1 will have a list validation box referencing a range name

Sheet2 has two columns of data
ColumnA ColumnB
TV 1.0
Camera 2.0

I want the list validation box to show column a, and then when I choose tv
it pops column's b value in the cell. Please help me!

Hello Kenny
With defined names ColA for values in column A and ColB for values in column
B,
and validation list in cell D2,
formula in D3:
=INDEX(ColB,MATCH(D2,ColA,0))

Thanks papou, but this is not what I am needing. I need the info in one cell.
In your example below there should be no d3. I want d2 to contain the list
drop down, when you click on the drop down it will show colA, but when I
click on a choice it will populate d2 with the data in colB. The drop down
shows colA, but then populates colB in same cell d2. Please help thanks

This is going to be a little tricky and will require a bit of vba
programming.
With the sample code below, once you select your choice from the validation
list in D2, the corresponding value from column B will show in D2.
Please note you will need to manually clear the value in D2 (from the column
B list) to make the validation list (from column A) available again.

Right-Click on the sheet tab, select View Code, paste the sample code below
and amend accordingly with the exact range addresses used for your data:
'(Tested on Excel 2003 SP3 WinXp Pro SP2)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D2")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
dummy = Target.Validation.Type
If Err < 0 Then
Err.Clear: On Error GoTo 0

With Target.Validation
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=$A$1:$A$2"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = ""
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With

Else
Target.Validation.Delete
Target.Value = Evaluate("=INDEX(B1:B2,MATCH(D2,A1:A2,0))")
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

End Sub
