I have a new problem
I have added a ComboBox to lookup the ingredient
in e6. Now I'm getting a new error.
What do I replace e6 with to work.
The ComboBox is named ComboBox1

=VLOOKUP(E6,'Food DataBase'!E1:H2500,4,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP(ComboBox1,'Food DataBase'!E1:H2500,4,FALSE)

This should work. What error are you getting?

Hi SFI,

The name you had as "ComboBox1" will never work. It is the name of the
Combo Box and you shouldn't use it to VLOOKUP.

Try this one -

Give a name to your list on the spreadsheet. Say you have the list from
A2 to A10, so name the range as ingredient. Now, cell E6, go to Data /
Validation. Click "Allow" and select "List". Type =ingredient on the
box below then press Enter.

You will find a dropdown list and this is what you wanted to LOOKUP.
Now put the VLOOKUP function

=VLOOKUP(E6,'Food DataBase'!E1:H2500,4,FALSE)

I hope this will work fine with you.


Thanks

Shail
