    VLookup Data Validation and Macro action

    I've been trying to figure out how to create a macro for this function...

    I have this table:

    In Column A are device numbers ranging from 1000 to 1250.
    In Column B is each device's respective status (i.e. damaged, out for repair, etc)

    I'm making a menu to side of this table:

    N1 Has a drop down of all listed devices

    I'd like N2 to have a drop down of all applicable status' and when a status is selected, it would change the status for the device in N1 on the table in Column B.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Kahm111,

    Have a look at the attached where the code is attached to the sheet as a worksheet_change event macro whenever cell N2 is changed and there's also an entry in cell N1.

    Regards,

    Robert
