You're welcome!

Biff,

Thanks.... I did end up creating a separate set of cells that each do the
calculations the drop down list items were each doing...

It works the way I want now.

Thanks for your comment!

No, you'd use the "IF" condition just for the single item that is
selected.

IF(A1="A",do_this,IF(A1="B",do_this,IF(A1="C",do_t his,do_that)))

So, it seems to me you'd need a *separate set of calculations* that
assumes
all the items have been selected. Since you haven't described what these
calculations do there's not much more I can suggest.

I have a sheet that returns different performance results for 21
categories,
based on a drop down list of 3 choices. Depending on the item selected
from
the list (A, B, or C ), different values populate the 21 categories,
and a
"total" is shown in a single cell, based on the respective choice.

Currently, I have to MANUALLY select from the drop-down list to see all
three different totals.

I would also like a "quick reference" to know all three results,
immediately, for a quick comparison.

How can I create a separate group of 3 cells, that will AUTOMATICALLY
assume
that each choice in the drop-down list was made, and let me instantly
see
the
comparisons?

I thought of using IF, but that would still mean I would need to
manually
pull the list box down and select one of the three choices.

Thanks,

Tom
