Hi!

Assume these headers are on Sheet1 in the range B1:F1.
Ford Chevy Jaguar Mazda Saab

Select that range B1:F1
Goto the menu InsertNameDefine
Enter a name for that range. Something like: Vehicles
Refers to: =Sheet1!$B$1:$F$1
Click ADD

Assume this portion of the table is in the range A2:F5.
radio 40 60 100 50 80
cd 80 86 110 65 87
tv 45 55 0 62 91
dvd 130 110 230 98 83

Enter a name for that range. Something like: Table
Refers to Sheet1!$A$2:$F$5
OK out

Navigate to Sheet2 and select the cell where you want the drop down list.
Goto the menu DataValidation
Allow: List
Source: =Vehicles
OK

Assume cell A1 on Sheet2 is where the Vehicle drop down list is. Cell B1 is
a device type, say, CD:

Sheet2A1 = Chevy
Sheet2B1 = CD

To get the price in cell Sheet2C1:

=VLOOKUP(B1,Table,MATCH(A1,Vehicles,0)+1,0)

If you want, you can also create a drop down list of the device types. Just
follow the same steps as above.
