    Data validation using the INDIRECT function is a good way of doing this - it takes a bit of setting up but works very well.

    Take a look at this link for an excellent tutorial on how to do this http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html

    If you get stuck, I can help more.

    Thank you for your reply but the problem is every time I have to make a new list cause if there is any update on the company name and site name and product name I have to manually include it in the list, but I want something which can use my existing data base format in price list and the second sheet gives a drop down with the new ones as well. I hav attached my excel file

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
