    Create a drop down box that links to another cell

    I am looking to create a pricing sheet with a drop down box that automatically updates with a price in the next column.

    I.E
    Painter £50
    Decorater £70
    Dulux white paint £4.50

    Hoping someone can explain to me the easiest way to do this.

    Many thanks!

    Hello
    You would need to create a price list table as per your example. You could then use a Data Validation drop down list in one cell and in the adjacent cell a VLOOKUP function to return the price based on the item selected from the list. See the attached basic example.
