referencing drop down menu values in IF-then statements?
 

I'm trying to use a drop down list to automatically input numbers into two
other cells.

eg

Drop-down menu Price 1 Price 2

what I'd like do is have it so that once I choose an item from the drop down
menu the cells of Price 1 and Price 2 woudl be automatically filled with the
proper number.

any suggestions???

Sounds like you want to build a lookup table. See this:

=LOOKUP(A1,{"Price1","Price2"},{10,20})

Assumes A1 has a dropdown with the two choices.

I don't know where Price 1 and Price 2 cells are located so enter the formula
wherever you deem suitable.
