    Dropdown list with multiple values

    Hello
    I am trying to create an excel spreadsheet that calculates nutrition based on a dropdown menu. The values would change depending on the formula selected. How to I pull the data from sheet 1 and bring it in sheet 2 in order to calculate protein, carbohydrates and fat content. I have attached a copy of the excel spread sheet.
    Sincerely

    Re: Dropdown list with multiple values

    To refer to e.g. A1 on Sheet1 while you are not in Sheet 1, use this:

    =Sheet1!A1

    If you have given the sheet another name, use that name:

    =MySheet!A1

    If the name has a space in it, put the name between ' :

    ='My Sheet Name'!A1

    In the thread title you are asking about a dropdown but I don't see that in your file. Do you need help with that too?
    When I say semicolon, u say comma!

    Hello
    Not sure if L-Drr has answered your question but if not, as I understand it, you wish to have data validation cells with drop-downs to pull data from Sheet1. See the attached reply. It uses Index/Match with 3 named ranges.
