For the rates to pop automatically you could use a Vlookup function..

Let's say your data is in book 2 A2:F5

In the cell in book 3 where you want the rate to pop automatically enter..

=VLOOKUP(A2,'Book2!'A2:F5,2)

This Looks at what is entered in cell A2 then looks up the first column of
your table in book 2 and returns the result from the same row and 2nd column
in the table.
