I don't know if this can help you, but i think it's the most simple way to do that.

In Cell A1 (OR where you want to put the combobox), select Data - Validation, List (Make sure that Cell with list is checked) and in the Origin box write:

Budget,Standard,Deluxe

No spaces, and commas between the words.

And then click Ok, you should have the combo box. Now, the second part, in cell A2 write this formula:

=IF(A1="Budget",9.95,IF(A1="Standard",12.95,IF(A1="Deluxe",15.95,""),""),"")

And that should do it...

Hope that helps
