    creating a calculator where a letter in a drop down is displayed as a currency in a cell

    I am creating a calculator based on a pricing menu. I am having trouble in a cell where a drop down menu offers options; 2,4,6,8,10 or 12. I would like the associated price for each option to be displayed in another cell.

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Maybe this...
    =VLOOKUP($C$21,Table1,2,0)

    Assuming you want to find C21 in the table M9:N13
    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: creating a calculator where a letter in a drop down is displayed as a currency in a ce

    When I select "6" in C21 I would like the figure in C25 to change to "$3,600.00" and so on 4 through to 12. Maybe I have made my request a bit clearer... Thanks for your help!
