[Guest]

Hello,

I am trying to create a excel sheet that you enter a drop down list and the
price comes up automatically when you enter it ie

Apple in one box and price £1.79 in another box

I have been trying to figure it out all afternoon i will need a few drop
down to create a invoice type of thing for equipement

VLOOKUP formulas will pull the data to appropriate cells.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for more on VLOOKUP and Data
Validation lists for entering the choices.

Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list.

BTW.........they are called "cells" not "boxes"
