    Red face taking values from sheet 1 to read sheet 2 and input data on sheet 3 in that order

    hi, I have 3 worksheets [data sheet, info sheet, quotation sheet],
    question - on the data sheet, say on B5, I say "High", I want to read from info sheet the price for "High" to be placed on the quotation sheet.
    [so, if I say Low on B5 on data sheet, the quotation page should reflect the price of low from the info sheet.

    how do i do this?

    thanks in advance.

    yikes,
    i still don't understand.

    if i am not using VBA but normal excel, can this be done?

    Suggest you post your worksheets with dummy data so that we can better understand your issue and give you a viable solution. Suggest you show your expected results also. This will give us all the data needed to help you.

    Maybe you could try vlookup function. This will be the example code to be copied on the quotation sheet:

    Info sheet should contain the corresponding values for "high and low".

    Hope that it helped you.

    Re: taking values from sheet 1 to read sheet 2 and input data on sheet 3 in that orde

    i.e. i have 3 sheets

    sheet 1 - Cell A1 = Low

    Sheet 2
    Cell A1 - Low - [B1] 1000
    Cell A2 - Medium - [B2] 1500
    Cell A3 - High - [B3] 2000

    Sheet 3 - Cell A1 = 1000
    [this is what i am trying to figure out, because in sheet 1 cell A1, i may select medium or high and I need the value in cell A1 in sheet 3 to reflect the values according to the level.

    i hope this helps.
    i dont know how to post my worksheet.

    Vlookup function is suitable for your problem. Download this file for an example.

    Regarding the drop-down list, select your target cell or range then go to Data > Data Validation > Settings > Allow_List
    then find your source data or input the desired data separated by comma.

    See attached screenshot.
