Linking Dropdown to populate multiple values ranges

[oldbuddy]

How do I achieve the following using Dropdown/List or functions.
The scenario is that if I choose Type=Kg then I should get result based on Kg and Vice versa
Sample.xls file attached for reference.


TYPE RANGE RATE
Kg 1 - 10 $5
11 - 50 $15
51 - 70 $20
>100 $50



Lbs 2.2 - 22 $5
21 - 55.5 $15
75 - 110 $20
>300 $50

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

You could probably use something like...
=cell-that-contains-value*if(cell-with-KG/lbs="KG",2.2,1)

DOne, as suggested. Thanks

[FDibbins]

OK, I added 4 named ranges to your 1, 1 each for weight ranges (KgRange and LbRange), and 1 each for Charge.

Then in each DD, I used an INDIRECT formula to combine the Kg or Lb with either Range or Charge...
=INDIRECT($B$31&C$30)
=INDIRECT($B$31&D$30)

See attached

let me know how that works for you?

[oldbuddy]

Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
This has raised curiosity on Charges! Is there a way the Charges can get populated automatically?
I have tried the lengthy "IF" function but that would only serve for either Lbs or Kgs in the same cell

[FDibbins]

Sure, just remove the Charges DD and replace with this...
=VLOOKUP(C31,$C$11:$D$24,2,0)

Note that it might be better if you center-align the cell so you can see the value, otherwise it might get hidden behind the Range DD arrow

Great! Thanks again.
