I have a data validation table that contains multiple cities. When a city is selected from the drop down menu, I want a value to be placed in a cell next to it.
How can I do this?

Hi shawner
Have a look here, with reference to data validation with a dependant list.

hi shawner, welcome to the forum. you can use VLOOKUP. assuming "Atlanta" in C4 & the list of Cities & Population in F3:G100, try this in D4:
=VLOOKUP(C4,$F$3:$G$100,2,0)
this is to find C4 ("Atlanta") in F3:F100 & when it finds it, return the 2nd column next to it. next time, Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include BEFORE/AFTER sheets if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Remember to desensitize the data.

=if(A1<>"",VLOOKUP(A1,C2:D10,2,FALSE),"")
I can not tell the ranges from the picture. So adjust A1 to cell with DV. C2:D10 to table of states/population, excluding header.
Thank you so much, everyone. You guys are freakin' awesome!
However, I am unsuccessful in my task. Here's what I've tried:
I input the formula =VLOOKUP(B2,Pricing!A2:B27,2,FALSE) and I receive the error: "A user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell." What am I doing wrong?

Can you not get shot of the data validation in C2 and use:
=INDEX(Population!B2:B27,MATCH(B2,Population!A2:A27,0))
Thank you, Kevin - I copy-and-pasted your formula and it works. I will take time to learn more about 'INDEX' and 'MATCH' functions.
Regards,
Shawner.
No problem shawne, glad to of helped. See the link below for more on the index & match.
INDEX & MATCH
Clear the data validation rule for cell C2.
Select cell C2
Goto the Data tab
Data Validation
Click the Clear All button
OK out
Then, enter this formula in C2:
=VLOOKUP(B2,Population!A2:B27,2,0)
