I have a drop down list and what i want to do (which I don't know if it can

set up prices for a drop down list?
Hi
this can easily be achieved using Data / Validation for the drop down menu and VLOOKUP function to add the price into another column - here's some notes i have on doing this: assuming that in Sheet2 you have the following ..............A..............B 1......Item.....Value 2.....Item1.....10.00 3.....Item2.....15.00 4.....Item3..... 20.00 now select from A1 to the end of your list (A4, in the above example) and choose from the menu, Insert / Name / Create - ensure Top Row is checked and click okay - you've created a named range called "Item" (or whatever the title in A1 is) now select from A1 to the end of the list for all columns (B4 in the above example) and click inside the name box (left of formula bar) and type MyTable and press enter - we've created a second named range. Now click in the cell in Sheet1 where you want your drop down list to appear and choose Data / Validation from the menu - in the settings tab, choose List from the Allow drop down box and then click inside the white box under this and press the F3 key - this will bring up a list of your range names, choose "Item" (or whatever your first range was called) and click Ok. You will now have a drop down list in this cell. Now click in the cell where you want the related information to appear and type =VLOOKUP(A1,MyTable,2,false) where A1 is the cell reference with your drop down list in it - you can use the F3 key for the MyTable bit too. now choose an item & see the related information appear ... delete the item and you'll get a #NA error - this can be supressed by embedding your VLOOKUP in an IF statement e.g. =IF(A1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,MyTable,2,false)) where A1 is the cell reference with your drop down list in it hope this helps, let us know how you go -- Cheers JulieD check out www.hcts.net.au/tipsandtricks.htm ....well i'm working on it anyway "fireycowgrl" wrote in message ...
