    Question how to define dictionary to access by key?

    Hello
    I have no idea how to solve my problem.
    I have dictionary defined as series of keys and let's say two values:
    name1,val1A,val1B
    name2,val2A,val2B
    ...and so on

    I would like to define named range from "name" column allowing user to select desired name from combo on another sheet.
    This is easy

    But after that I would like to get val1 and val2 for selected name and show them with some calculation;
    For example to construct two columns like this:
    <nameX_selected_from_combo>, (<val1X>+<val2X>)/2

    All the problem is how to select values from the same row as name selected in range.
    Anybody can help?

    Best regards for all.

    Sure, can you post an example to add this to?

    You can use a basic Vlookup() or Index(Match()) combination to return the values. You probably don't need a combo box (can just use data validation from the Name column...)

    Hard to help more without an example workbook to install these ideas into
