    Data validation

    Hi First time here, looking for a solution I`m creating a drop down list but need to move 2 cells instead of 1 can anyone advise how to achieve this.

    Post a sample workbook please. I think you just want something like in B2 enter =A1. With an escape for blank cells.

    Hi angie

    To attach a file, push the button with the paperclip (or scroll down to the Manage Attachments button), browse to the required file, and then push the Upload button.

    You will see under material a drop down menu when they select one I also want it to bring the value across into the cell next to it. in this example the figure is $ 4800 I have played for hours and can not achieve this. Thanks

    Re: Data validation

    excuse me but for me is not clear what is that are you asking for...

    In H11, result must be 4800. This means E11*F11

    If i choose F/Deck, in G11, what is the corect result??

    Re: Data validation

    Hi Fotis,

    Thanx for the help I will try and explain.

    When they click on F/deck in cell G11 I want the Value $5280 to appair in H11 which needs to come from cell p5
    Then if they ckick on say D/sided I want the value to change in H11 to $4800 which relates to the value in P4
    I have formulas set up to create the values in P4 and P5 off the simple data they enter.
    I`m trying to simplify a complete costing program I have created for my sales team but hit a brick wall with this.

    Re: Data validation

    Ok angie. Now you are clear.

    So in H11, put this formula. Copy down.
    If does not works with semicolon ; change these to gomma(,)

    =INDEX($P$3:$P$6;MATCH($G11;$O$3:$O$6;0))

    Hope to helps you.

    Re: Data validation

    If you want it to be onClick() you'll need to code some VBA.
