Drop down list selections creating values in adjoining cell
I have managed to create a drop down list in my main workbook (named:
December) from a list (named: Wines) from another workbook (named: DataSheet) What I want to happen is that when I select one of the items from the drop down list (cell C8 in workbook December) a price automatically appears for that item in the adjacent cell (D8). I have written all the wine types in cells A1:A37 in DataSheet and all the prices for the wines in the adjacent box in DataSheet B1:B37 (So the price appears next to the wine) How do I get these values to appear after just selecting one iten form the dropdown box in workbook December I am a novice/intermediate excel user so please so please could you explain things in a simple way -- Thanks WoodyAccess |
