    Using Data Validation and VLOOKUP

    I have created a worksheet for a pizza parlor where I used Data Validation to have a dropdown menu for both type of pizza and the size. I am having trouble getting the VLOOKUP to work so that it gives the correct price for that type and size of pizza.

    10
    20
    30
    40
    3
    Type2
    12
    22
