    Cool I want to select a drop down list item and have it display a unit price in a diff cell

    Hi!

    I use excel to create proposals for customers and I have a ton of products and options all with different pricing. I created a basic drop down list of the products, but I'm wondering if there is a way to display a price in a separate cell once the product selection is made? Right now I have to manually type in the product and price every time, but it would be nice to have them stored and I can just make the selections and the pricing generates!

    Help?

    Thank you in advance!

    Use a VLOOKUP from the cell with your product(dropdown), to retrieve the price in a pricing table. Link the dropdown to the cell that it resides in.

    Hi Paul, welcome to the forum

    there is nothing magical about a drop down (Data Validation). It is exactly the same as if you had typed the entry in manually, the only differences being that a DD can save you some typing, help avoid typos and help restrict entry to only a specified "list". Other than that, there is basically no difference. You would refer to it in formulas etc the exact same way as if you were referencing a manually entered cell

    So, based on that, as suggested, you could use a simple vlookup to pull the values from that table you mentioned.

    If you still have a problem, upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
