    Question Dropdown list selections

    I have 2 dropdown lists. What I would like to happen is after the selections is made in both lists, it refers to the appropriate percentage in another cell and enters it into a 3rd cell. As an example. Someone lives in Birmingham, Al. They choose a lighting scenario of ON/OFF, which corresponds to 42.33%. Or a 2/STEP(52.95%) or 3/STEP(63.56%). I've attached a copy of the spread sheet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
    Sincerely, Hustad

    Hello Wisconsin
    (sorry I love the 70s show)

    Formula:

    M12: =INDEX($J$3:$L$269,MATCH($M$8,CITIES,0),MATCH($M$10,CONTROL,0))
    format cell to percentage

    rwg, no need to change the contents of the named range in this instance (given this after all UI preference) - given the two lists correlate in terms of order you can just match selection against the named range itself (as shown).
