Copying selective data from sheet2 to sheet1 based on the selection made in sheet1.

Hi,
Its been quite some time that I have visited this site. been preoccupied with other assignment at hospital.

I would seek your help in solving this situation, required in managing Turn around time in the laboratory.

I have an excel sheet (OfficeXP/Office 2003), where in Sheet1, I enter certain data like a test name from a drop down list (saved in Sheet2). Once the name is selected, I need few additional data adjacent to test names in Sheet-2 to be copied in the respective columns in Sheet-1.

Example, Pl see the attached workbook.

Sheet-2
Col A=Test name B=Instrument C=Time in minutes
Row 1. A=Glucose B=Siemens C=10
Row 2. A=Tot. Prot B=Siemens C=10
Row 3. A=Albumin B=Siemens C=15
Row 4. A=DC B=Beckman C=22
Row 5. A=Electrophoresis B=Sebia C=15
Row 6. A=Immunoglobulins B=Vitrous C=30

Sheet-1
A= S.No., B=Pat Name, C=Pat ID, D=Test requested (as drop down menu from sheet2), E= Sample Col Time & F=Report deliver time (this will be calculated as E+20(for sample processing)+Sheet2!C - corresponding to the test requested).


What I would require is, once the test name is selected, then Col F should also get updated. Col E will be updated using IF & time function.

Will this require any macro or can be done using function formula?

Appreciate your support and any suggestions in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

The attached workbook:
TAT calculation.xls

Put this formula in F2:

=E2+TIME(0,20,0)+TIME(0,VLOOKUP(D2,Sheet2!$A$2:$C$17,3,0),0)

Hope this helps.
