    Cross Reference (Vlookup) based on Data Validation List Dropdown

    Attached is example of what I'm trying to do. I want to use the drop-down on the "Master Tab" and have the corresponding price by promo_month appear in the yellow cells. Does anybody know of a formula or how to do this?

    Currently its on July, but I would like to switch that to August etc and have new prices populate in the yellow cells. Prices come from the "table" tab.

    Let me know with any questions, thanks.

    In B6 copied down

    =VLOOKUP(A6, Table!$A$3:$G$209, MATCH($B$4,Table!$B$2:$G$2,0)+1,FALSE)

    You need to change Tabel!B2:G2 to match the dropdown in Master!B4. (i.e July, September, etc.)
