    My problem is:-
    i already created dropbox data validation option for 200 no.s of fragrance now i need to find per fragrance price list. fragrance formula list are in different sheet and master chemicals price are in different sheets.
    when i select particular fragrance name then it will automatically show all the chemicals name which i use to create particular fragrance.
    in master chemical list every day i need to create new date in cell and below that i need to type current date price value.

    Re: data validation problem

    It would help if you could upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: data validation problem

    Post a sample of your actual sheet.

    =INDEX(INDIRECT($B$1&"!$F$1:$J$50"),MATCH(Sheet1!$A2,INDIRECT($B$1&"!$F$1:$F$50"),0),MATCH($C$1,INDIRECT($B$1&"!$F$1:$J$1"),0))

    B1= Sheet Name

    A2= Component

    CS1=Date

    INDIRECT allows use to search a variable Sheet i.e. defined by B1

    First MATCH selects row for component

    Second MATCH selects Date column

    INDEX returns the value from matched row and column in range F1:J50
