    Drop down fills in numbers in other box

    Hello, thanks for any tips or guidance you can offer. If this has been covered in another thread, please link me. Thanks!

    I am trying to have a drop down box with ~5 selections, where each selection is a product. Each product has different values associate with calories, protein, carbs and water. I would like to be able to select a particular product and then put in the rate at which the product will flow (ie 50mL/hr) and I would like excel to give me the total for calories, protein, carbs, water.

    Formula mL/hr kcal Protein CHO Free water
    Product 50 x x x x


    I have the kcal, protein, CHO, Free water amounts for each product in another sheet.

    I would like to be able to select one of multiple products, and have it give me numbers for the specified rate, and then be able to switch products and it update the numbers.

    Probably the simplest way to do this would be with a small table containing all your values, then use VLOOKUP to return what you need,

    If you have a problem setting this up, upload a small sample and I will put something together for you
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
