drop down list/box that has formula built in for other cells
Hello
I am trying to create a drop down list. I can get list but I want to take it a bit further. Example: A1 will have a Drop Down List located in it. When I selecte a item in the drop down I want it to put information assigned to in in another cell. Example: Cell A1 will have a drop down list, If I selected 5 horse Power in my list, I want 30 Amps to be placed in A2. Thanks for any help Terry |

You can use Data Validation to create dropdown lists. There are
instructions in Excel's help, and he http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html To return the related information for the selected item, you can use a VLookup formula. There are instructions and examples he http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html There's a sample file that uses Data Validation and VLookup formulas he http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html#Function Under Data Validation, look for 'Order Form' Terry wrote: Hello I am trying to create a drop down list.
