    Linking Cells In a Dropdown Box

    Hi,

    I am not very good at explaining, but I have a painting company and I am creating a spreadsheet to price jobs.

    I want to be able to click on a dropdown box, select a painting description(e.g: To Paint Ceilings) and have excel automatically pull up a cell beside it with the price for painting ceilings.

    e.g To Paint Ceilings - $1.00
    To Plaster Walls - $2.00

    The reason I want the spreadsheet set out this way is so I can then calculate the price in the second cell based on the room measurements in the third cell, which I am able to do myself.

    e.g.
    Description - Price - Area (M2) - Total Cost
    To Paint Ceilings - $1.00 - 5 - $5.00
    To Plaster walls - $2.00 - 20 - $40.00

    I hope this makes sense and that somebody can help me.
    Thanks in advance
    Kerry
