    type designate text in cell & have another cell automatically populate w/ designated #?

    Hi. (I'm new to this forum--hi everyone!)

    Is there a function or some other programming device in Excel that will enable me to do the following?

    • When I enter a pre-designated text into a cell (for example, I type "Large Print" into cell C3), Excel will automatically populate another designated cell with a number I have predesignated (for example, "$350" would automatically appear in cell D4)


    Thanks in advance for considering my question.

    Sincerely,
    Victoria

    Sure. You could use a table to lookup the value entered and display the appropriate value.

    =VLOOKUP(cell to lookup,range to look it up in,column to return,0 for exact match)
