    Re: how to auto populate one cell based on the selections of TWO drop downs?

    I'm back!
    Have read about dependent lists, got 2 up in my sheet. They are at B33 (trailer) and B34 (tent). These lists are made from the data in Camper Trailer Models sheet.
    Now I'm back to where I began, getting the price to show up in (for this example)H34 dependent on what is selected from the lists just mentioned.
    Can anyone help me understand this please? I have tried to go with oeldere's help before but I don't really understand what he did so I cant see why its not working. Please forgive my neewbieness!!
    I have attached a NEW sheet containing the dependent lists.
    Any help will be so appreciated. Thanks again.

    Can anyone tell me what the last 2 numbers stand for in this:
    =VLOOKUP(B22&" "&B23,'Trailers & Tents Combo'!C$2:D$27,2,0)

    The '2' and the '0'?
    columns? rows? if so, is '0' a column/row?

    Thanks very much.

    Hi

    The 2 is the number of columns you are looking at after the search criteria.
    the 0 which means FALSE gives you an exact match to given criteria
    if the 0 was a 1 this means TRUE and gives the closest answer to given criteria
    the citeria is the item you are searching for in the lookup

    hope this helps

    Thank you!! I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me. Simple once pointed out. I'm now off to read up on HLOOKUP's.
