    Drop Down List to change cell

    In Excel 2007; I need my drop down list to then change the next cell down to a series of different values?
    How do i do this? i have created the drop down list, but can't link the values to the item selected in the drop down list.
    The JPG attached shows a basic set up of what i am trying to do:
    The drop down list contains various product models (yellow)
    Once selected this then changes the m2 value (red) which is linked to the formulas in orange; product factor is entered manually.

    Thanks
    Rhys

    Hi,

    starting from the value in the drop-down list, you can use a lookup formula to find the red value.

    Try

    =HLOOKUP(B10,B6:L7,2,FALSE)

    I don't want to type up all your numbers, so I did not verify the formula. It would be easier if you post a spreadsheet next time.

    cheers
