Depending on how you have your pricelist setup, you likely will need one of the
LOOKUP functions. Probably VLOOKUP
--ron

VLOOKUP formulas will pull the data to appropriate cells based upon the item in
A1

See Debra Dalgleish's site for more on VLOOKUP and Data
Validation lists for entering the choices.

Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list.
