    Data Validation Trick

    Hello All

    Is there a way to on the drop down I have a List

    1=Full-Time
    2=At Least Half-Time
    3=Less Than Half-Time
    0=Not Enrolled

    I am trying to figue out a way that when I select option 2 for example 2 will show up in that column because that column must be an integer.

    Re: Data Validation Trick

    excelaron,

    I would recommend the VLookup() function for this task.
    Attached is an example workbook based on the criteria you described.
    Row 1 has headers.
    Column B contains the data-validation cells.
    Column C contains the results.
    Column G contains the data validation list items.
    Column H contains the results each list item gives.

    So in cell C2 and copied down is this formula:
    =IF(B2="","",VLOOKUP(B2,$G$2:$H$5,2,0))

    Is that what you're looking for?
