Selecting a cell entry based on cell validation selection
Hello,
I have created a drop down validation list for computer monitor types and would like the cell below to display the monitor's power rating. Monitor types used to generate the validation list and the power ratings for each are taken from a different worksheet. For example, if Sheet1.A1 contains a drop down list of monitor types taken from Sheet2.Range(A1:A100), how do I set Sheet1.A2 to display the appropriate power rating listed in Sheet2.Range(B1:B100)? |

Selecting a cell entry based on cell validation selection
I think what you should do is
Keep on with the way you have your drop down list through the data validation and keep the list as a single range on sheet, However i would sugest to put the list in a column on the same data entry sheet and then hide the column much simple way espcial for only 100 rows. OK so we have col A (this is the drop down list) col B (this would be the data need to fill the drop down right click hide the column and then we will move on. now you want the data in the drop down to return a power figure related to the monitor choosen One problem it have the data return in row and not the next column, or at least when you try and auto fill or copy out the formula you are going to be doing a lot more work. anyway. Lets say col A is the drop down and the next col is the value return. ok so we have col a the drop down col b the hidden list col c copy and paste the same list col d type in the corisponding info to the monitor both of these col will then be hidden col e this is were the value will render use his formula =vlookup(a1,$c$1:$d$100,2,FALSE) hope this helps if you want get ride of those #n/a's wright back "Brutalius" wrote: Hello, I have created a drop down validation list for computer monitor types and would like the cell below to display the monitor's power rating.
