    Linking info from Tabs into LOOKUP using List

    I once again require your assistance please.

    What I would like to do is link certain information on a main tab to values (taken from lists) from other Tabs.

    I will try to explain...
    This is a quoting spreadsheet.

    Tab 1 is the main page which in which you manually input Qty and Size. Material and Labour are chosen from lists which then pull in a m2 price using;
    =VLOOKUP(B3,'General Prices'!A:C,2,FALSE)

    The labour element is done in the same fashion but has a few more options (being Top, Left, Right and Bottom) each pulling a price from another Tab.
    =VLOOKUP(D3,'General Prices'!G:H,2,FALSE)*CEILING(I3,500)/1000 - For Top
    =VLOOKUP(F3,'General Prices'!J:K,2,FALSE)*CEILING(J3,500)/1000 - For Left
    etc etc.

    Now, is it possible to create new Tabs for different clients pricing structure that I can then automatically direct the main pricing document to by using a 'List' of clients?

    Simply put...Main Pricing Sheet has a drop down list of 'Clients'. upon choosing a 'Client' all of the Vlookups direct to that Pricing Tab.

    Does all this make any sense?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Tom

    Thought it may help a little with a screen grab.

    All prices are coming from 'General Tab'

    I would like page to direct to prices from Client 1 'IF' 'Client 1' is selected in cell B1. Client 2 if client 2 is selected etc etc.

    Thanks

    It is possible to what your asking using the Indirect function. You could put General Prices, Client 1 Prices and Client 2 Prices in A1:A3 You could then apply Data Validation to B1 with A1:A3 as the source. Your formula could then read

    If my description of the set up is not clear, or if the formula doesn't do what you want please use the "Go Advanced" button below the "Quick Reply" window and upload a sample of your spreadsheet, as it is easier to offer help if you provide a file as opposed to a picture.

    I put the following formula in R4:

    I set data validation to B1 so that it will allow the user to select from the list of existing tab names. I changed the value of Client 1!B3 from 1 to .5 so that it you can see that the formula works. Here is a copy of your file with the changes applied:
    Copy of TOM_PricingDocument.xlsx
    Let me know if you have any questions.
