    Exclamation Cell Dependent on Drop Down Help

    I cant seem to figure out how to have one cell update according to a drop down list.
    What I have is say in cell 1a is a drop down with 10,15 and 20 yr warranty options. I need cell 3a to reflect the cost of the different warranties.
    any help?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    You can create a small table on the side somewhere and use Vlookup

    e.g. =Vlookup(A1,X1:Y3,2,FALSE)

    this will lookup value in A1 within range X1:X3 and return corresponding value from range Y1:Y3
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
