    Auto-populate cell based on values in other cells

    I am using Excel 2003.

    I need help auto populating cells depending on what previous cells are showing.

    In Column A, I have a drop down list with a series of products.

    In Column B, I have a drop down list with two options, relating to those products in Column A.

    Column C is my Quantity column, and that value would be inputted manually.

    Column D is my Price Per column, and I would like that to auto populate, based on what is showing in Column A and Column B. So for example, if Column A is showing Product ABC and Column B is showing Option 1, it would be a different price than if Product ABC was paired with Option 2 in Column B.

    Column E would be total amt, just a simple price per x qty.

    I have absolutely no idea how to set up the relationship between Columns A and B, and Column D.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    I would set up a table with your products in column A of a different sheet in your workbook and prices for Option 1 in B and Op 2 in C. Then I would use the INDEX and MATCh functions to find the proper values. As per your example, the formula in column D copied down would be

    If I want to populate from a list of products that have different sizes but the same name, it will only return the first product values if they have the same name. Is there a way to choose different products with the same name in the drop down list and return their corresponding values?

    If your multiple products have similar sizes, e.g. small, medium, large, then you can use a similar process as above. If they are unique to each product, you'll need to concatenate within a VLOOKUP. Do you have an example spreadsheet?
