Dependant formula
I need help with a formula. I have two named lists in tab #2. List 1 is a
product part number, list 2 is the part description. In tab 1 I have data validation set in column B to pull a dropdown with the values in the part number list . I am trying to figure out to get Column C to automatically pull the values in the part description based on the value selected from the part number. In tab #2 the part number and part description are always on the same row in adjoining columns. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Dependant formula
Try this:
=INDEX(list2,MATCH(B1,list1,0)) Hope this helps. Pete On Apr 15, 4:25*pm, Ted wrote: I need help with a formula. I have two named lists in tab #2.

Dependant formula
Thank you for the response. I was able to get it working with this formula
=VLOOKUP(C13,data!B2:C85,2,FALSE) vlookup worked great, I just needed to figure out how to get it to reference data from another tab and move to the proper column in the tab "Pete_UK" wrote: Try this: =INDEX(list2,MATCH(B1,list1,0)) Hope this helps.
