Default Linking other cells to a list item

I have tried a number of things and searched all over but can't figure out
how I can link other cells to a list item.

Example - if I select a specific item from the drop down list I want to be
able to get the price for the item as well from my price list, which could be
in the same worksheet or workbook.

Just trying to built a simple calculator for material used.

Try Debra's nice coverage on VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH at her:

VLOOKUP

INDEX/MATCH

There's also some sample workbooks available for d/l & study
