repost of question from 2/4 "Using drop-down lists"
Thanks for the help.
When I copy and paste the function you provided into C2 on sheet 1 and press enter I get #N/A. When I enter this formula and hit enter, a window title: "Update Values: Sheet 2" pops up. It looks like a "save" or "save as" window. What do I do there? Also, I'm not proficient with the formulas in Excel. Can you break down that formula into what each part means, so I can have a better understanding going forward? That way I'm not just copying and pasting without actually learning, so if it doesn't work the way I want, I'll know how to change it. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I want to be able to enter in a number value in B2 ("Square footage") and have C2 give me the product of B2 and whatever dollar amount is in column B on sheet two, depending on which value I pick from the drop-down list in. Thanks so much. |

repost of question from 2/4 "Using drop-down lists"
I think I might have it:
I changed 'Sheet2'! to 'DuroLastMembrane'! and hit enter and then chose the file this workbook is saved as when the screen popped up and then it asked sheet 1, sheet 2 or sheet 3 and I chose sheet 2. Did I do this correctly? Seems right to me. When I chose the first choice in the drop down (40 mil - No Tabs) which was in sheet two A1 with a corrisponding price of $0.83 in sheet two B1 and entered 1000 for the square footage into sheet 1 B2, sheet 1 C2 gave me 830.

Hi,
The easier way would have been to type =IF(OR(A2="",B2=""),"-",VLOOKUP(A2, then click on Sheet2 in your workbook and select the column letters A:B then continue typing: ,2,FALSE)*B2) and press enter. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
