Drop Down List Creating Prices in adjoining box
There's a sample file on my web site that uses Data Validation and
VLookup to complete an order form. You could use the same technique for your worksheet: http://www.contextures.com/xlOrderForm01.html WoodyAccess wrote: -- Debra Dalgleish Contextures www.contextures.com/tiptech.html Blog: http://blog.contextures.com |

Drop Down List Creating Prices in adjoining box
Although just following the link didn't give me the exact info (i had to use
the VLOOKUP Worksheet) I did get the information. Using in cell D8 the formula =IF(C8="","",VLOOKUP(C8,Products!$A$2:$C$37,2,FALS E)) I had to add in the co-ordinates $A$2:$C$37 of the table rather than just writing in (as the website says) =IF(C8="","",VLOOKUP(C8,Products!,2,FALSE)) this gave the result of #N/A But I got there eventually. This will be a big help -- Thanks WoodyAccess "Debra Dalgleish" wrote: There's a sample file on my web site that uses Data Validation and VLookup to complete an order form.

The tutorial has 2 columns in the lookup table, and your lookup table
would have 5 columns. In the VLookup formula, you'd refer to the column that has the data you want. For example, if Protein is in the 4th column of the lookup table, you'd use a 4 in the VLookup formula. =VLOOKUP(B2,FoodTable,4,0) In the above formula, the food item that you selected is in cell B2, and the lookup table has been named FoodTable. jamesebailey72 wrote: I am creating a list with with adjoining cells that show the food item, calories, carbs, protein and fat intake.

Thanks again!!! Next question, in this sheet I am having a running total for
the daily calorie intake. In the boxes that I have not yet selected an item, the adjoing boxes that have the calorie, protein, etc show '#N/A'. How do I have this stay blank when nothing is selected and how do I not let this affect my running total?

You can wrap the VLookup formula with an IF formula. For example:
=IF(B2="","",VLOOKUP(B2,FoodTable,4,0)) Then, if cell B2 is empty, the formula cell will also appear empty. jamesebailey72 wrote: Thanks again!!!
