    Unhappy How to retrieve values from an excel table

    Dear Experts,

    I have lets' say 5 3 vehicles. Car ,Van Jeep. when you type the vehicle name in sheet1 row 1 cell1,next cell should give you the spare part drop down. e.g tyre, lamp,seats . when you select the sapre next cell dropdown should give you the specification . e.g you select jeep -> tyre then next cell dropdown tyre size 30',32',34' .

    when you select jeep->tyre-> 32" then next cell give its price. for that in a different sheet, we have a table like this

    vehicle |spare | specification | price

    car ......... Tyre ......... 30 ........ $10
    car ......... Tyre ......... 32 ........ $12
    car ......... Tyre......... 34 ........ $12
    ......

    jeep .............. seat ............ normal .......... $20
    jeep .............. seat ............. leather ......... $25

    ......

    so depending upon the user select combination of sheet1 row1 cell 1,2,3 ,sheet 1 cell 4
    should automatically fill its price (by referring sheet 2 table )

    e.g
    you select jeep seat leather as the sheet1 row1 cell 1,2,3 values , then sheet 1 cell 4 should fill its value as $25

    please give me a way
    I know how to make dependent dropdownlists. But tell me a way to fill its price automatically based on our selected combination.

    thanks .

    Helo raala,

    please rename your title according to the rules:

    1. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more hours have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel
