getting value 1 column to right of cell selected in pulldown
I have a chart that has in the one column (N) a list of sheet metal gage
numbers and in the previous column (M) the gage number represented in numeric form. The user will select the desired gage size via a drop down menu that references the values in column N. I would like to have a cell display the numeric size of the gage number selected. The value I want to display is in the same row and 1 column to the left of the cell selected with the drop down. Is there a way to display this value automatically based on value selected in drop down? excel 2002, sp3 Thanks, Gary |

=index(m:m,match(drop_down_cell,n:n,false))
The match function figures out which cell in the range n:n matches the selection, and index uses that result as in index into the range m:m.
