    50 States, Drop-Down List, select a state then produce the # for that state

    Hi, thanks for help...

    list example.xlsx

    Sheet2 has my info, Sheet2/A1 is state abbreviations, Sheet2/A2 their numbers for that state.

    Sheet1 is using this information as Sheet1/A1 has a drop-down list of the states. Once a state is selected it needs to return the number value for that state in cell Sheet2/A2.

    Basically Sheet2 A1 is = A2 so if on Sheet1 A1 CA is selected it's going to return the value in A2 for CA.

    On sheet 1 in cell B1 put this formula: =VLOOKUP($A$1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$56,2,FALSE)

    Cheers
