Help with combo box, please!!!!!!

[Guest]

Hi there,

I am creating a workbook and I can not find the way to make my combo box
work how I want it to:

I have a spreadsheet with names, colum a from 1 - 89. With this list I have
created a combo box, on Colum B, from 1 - 89 rates ($). What I would like to
do is every time I change the name in the combo box I want cell B to show me
that persons rate.

Is there anyone that can help!!!!!

I've been working on this same problem for a week, I'm going crazy Please
help!!!
Thanks!!!!

Hi Jessica if I understand what you have is

Col A Col B
name1 $10.00
name2 $12.00
....
name88 $7.00

your combo box have a bond cell right? assuming it is on A100 this cell will
change the value for each name select.

insert a column before A, put an ID so

COL A COL B COL C
1 name1 $10.00

use a =VLOOKUP($A$100,$A$1:$C$89,3,0)

and excel will return the Col C value

you want to dispay another 5 columns?.Just copy your vlookup formula across
increasing the
col a
=VLOOKUP($A$100,$A$1:$C$89,3,0)
colb
=VLOOKUP($A$100,$A$1:$C$89,4,0)
colc
=VLOOKUP($A$100,$A$1:$C$89,5,0)
etc etc

Thanks for the assistance but this does not seem to work, let me explain what
I'm trying to "achieve":

I have the following colums: A,B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I,

A, is Name, B is rate, C starting date, E Ending date, F Total commited, G
Paid YTD, H ......

I have the Names in a combo box and every time I change the name, and only
the name (I don't want the option of changing other options. So every time I
change the name in the combo box, all information mentioned above qill change
automatically. Is this possible, I'm trying but I can't find the correct
formula. I'm also trying with the one bellow but it keeps getting the first
option, rate.

Can someone assist please!!!!!! Thanks to all in advance.
