    How to link form contol dropdown box to formula cell

    Hi To All

    Warm Greetings !!


    I have an excel that has dropdown column from form control, in F4 there is a formula of vlookup that take the range from A2 to B20 in consideration but the reference cell that is given to vlookup formula to pick corresponding value is E4 which is also the reference cell of dropdown box and therefore its not showing any name rather than a value, problem with the formula is that when we select any name from dropdown it does not respond to any value in F4 despite changing values in E4.

    I am using these setting for the first time so maybe I am making some mistake kindly help me in this & also mention the mistake I was making in it.

    For the convienience of readers' image & excel file is attached

    The cell "E4" is giving you the Drop down,"List Index" of the values, See the modified file.
    I have added a bit of code to the Drop Down so it returns the right Result.
    Right click Drop down, from Menu select "Assign Macro", Dialog box appears, Select "Edit", to see the code.
    NB:- In code I have added an alternative bit of code, that shows in "E5", (use, or delete as required.
