What function to use? Data Validation or IF
I am trying to set up a spreadsheet that allows you to type text in cell A1
and it will automatically enter a dollar amount into cell B1. The text in A1 could be a number of options so a drop down box would be good to select from but then how will this be able to place the corresponding dollar amount in B1. eg. A1 - Sydney, LAX, Melbourne, London B1 - 960, 10000, 1200, 15000 If you know an user friendly way of putting this information in, please help! Thanks Allie |

Create a lookup table and use VLOOKUP in B1 based upon looking up the A1
value in that table. It's explained in help. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Allie B" <Allie wrote in message ...
