    Using results of drop list to populate cell

    Hi all,
    After a bit of help on a formula! I am trying to create a rota for a hospital charity, I have fields for nurses, clinics & days they are open.
    The head nurse needs to input the nurses to cover the clinics, the problem I have I'd this:

    In a cell the head nurse selects a clinic from a drop down list for example ear clinic, so nurse a is due to work in a ear clinic on a Monday,
    In a seperate spreadsheet I am wanting the formula to show that if clinic ear has been selected (cell a1) for nurse a (cell a2 ) then cell a3 shows the nurses name. Essentially if the nurse has been asked to work in a clinic from a list then I need to let the clinc know that this nurse has been allocated , as there is a number of clinics in the list the results will vary on what nurse is covering what clinic.

    Hope this makes sense

    If you want to pull a name from a list, based ob certain criteria, you can probably do this with vlookup() I cant be any more specific specific than that, without seeing the layout/data etc that you are working with
    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
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
