    Drop down menu problem

    Right, i want to create a drop down box so that when you select one of the entries in it, it automatically loads up pre-determined data associated with what you've chosen.

    For example the drop down box contains:

    Balsa
    PVC
    Alu Honeycomb

    Then when you pick one of these, below in the table it shows the values from another table for example:

    density
    shear modulus
    tensile modulus

    etc.

    Does anyone know how to do that?

    Thanks for any help.

    Adam

    The best way is to use a VLOOKUP function

    I have attached an example of how this works.

    It doesn't take many minutes to reads the rules, not a big price for free advice
    Hope that helps.
