    Tweaking a dropdown box

    I was wondering if it was possible to Tweak a dropdown box so if a string is selected a numeric value appears in the cell? I would like tips if this is possible because I want to try to program it myself. I think it is logically possible to program something that would do this, but where do I go to program in excel?? Any help or insight would be appreciated!!

    Thanks

    ALT + F11 will get you into VB to write the code.

    Now,

    How about a non VBA way

    If your trying to convert a name to a value so you can use in a formula you could use the name function.

    Go to Insert > Name > Define then in Name in workbook enter Paid and in the refers to enter =11 and click ok

    Then say your formula is = 11 * 17.5% your formula would noe look like

    =Paid*17.5%

    Hope this helps
