retrieve entry from a list in excel
i have designed a speadsheet that when you enter a part of a full piece (
like the top rail of a gate) you pick the type of metal ( like 1-1/2" square tubing) you need for that piece from a drop down list. This works ok except the materials list is 800 items long and everyone complains about having to scroll thru a list that long for every part needed. Is there a way 1. to jump to a specific place in the list ( say to Square Tubing) 2. pick the size you need 3. then return that choice on the same line as the part your are working on ( C1). A1 B1 C1 top rail square tube drop-down list (would return size here) 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" post square tube drop-down list (would return size here) 2" x 2" Thanks for any help! |
