If B1=Level 1 then B2=10

[Shelly]

Sorry for the double post - but I just realized by Subject line didn't fit at
all!!

Cell B1 is using data validation referring to a named range. There are 4
possible values: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4.

I have another named range with the number of days associated with each
Level. So, if the user selects Level 1 from the dropdown list in B1, I want
the default number of days (10) to be put automatically into B2.

If the user selects Level 2 from the dropdown list in B1, I want the default
number of days (20) to be put automatically into B2.

And the same for Level 3 (30 days) and Level 4 (40 days).

I know there is a way to do this, I think by putting the 2 lists next to
each other... but I can't remember how to do it!

Help! Thanks!

Shelly,

Try the formula below in Cell B2:

=if(b1="Level 1",10,if(b1="Level 2",20,if(b1="Level 3",30,if(b1="Level
4",40,""))))

Shelly,

Try the formula below in Cell B2:

=if(b1="Level 1",10,if(b1="Level 2",20,if(b1="Level 3",30,if(b1="Level
4",40,""))))

I would recomend to use VLookup.

for that you have to create a Table, preferably in a sheet for setting
up, say "Templates"
it will read something like this..

A1 = Level1 B1 = 10
A2 = Level2 B2 = 20
A3 = Level3 B3 = 30
A4 = Level4 B4 = 40

optionally, you can define a Name as TBL = Range("A1:B4")
(Select the Range of the tabel and press <CTRL + F3> to define a
name.)

A1 is your Selected Level.
B1 => =VLOOKUP(A1,TBL,2,0)
'TBL is the name of the Table.

or if you dont have the name defined, do as follows...
B1 => =VLOOKUP(A1,'TEMPLATES'!$A$1:$B$4,2,0)
'where Templates is the sheet name where the Table is...


Let me know how it works...
