VLOOKUP with a restriction
I have a list of items, with categories, prices and other information as
follows, A B C ITEM CATEGORY PRICE There are different categories depending on the item, what I need to have is a VLOOKUP formula tha will do the following On different workbook and sheet In column A I want to have a drop down list that will only show items in one category, i.e. "Paper products", and show only the paper products, when I select the item, I need the price looked up and placed in colum B. The main list has over 300 items, in about 8 categories, for this particular Lookup I only want it to show one category. Any ideas and help would be apprecited |

Why not just filter the original list? An autofilter on Category would get you what you're after, wouldn't it? ---GJC -- gjcase ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gjcase's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26061 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=529214 |
VLOOKUP with a restriction
Not really, since there are amny categories, I would have to change the
filter each time, if I want to see all the categories, I am trying to see if this can be made easier ain a VLOOKUP format. "gjcase" wrote: Why not just filter the original list?
