Automated Linking

[SeanDuSart]

I need help to create a quote spreadsheet. I have a service column, a price list and would like to link them with the price automatically updating based on the selection. How can i do this in Excel 2010 , i sm not good with VBA but can work with forms and ranges. Any advice is welcome.
Column A Has Consultant type, Column B has Service , Column C has pricing so if i can select multiple services then the correct consultant type is slected and the price is reflected.

Regards
Sean

This sounds like something that can be done with vlookup formulas, but without knowing more about/seeing the data it's hard to be sure. Either post back with more info about the data you have, how its set up and what you want to do with it, or poke around on google for vlookup help. Hope this helps.

Thank you , my dilema is based on the Scenario below

Consultant	Rate	Service offered
A	100	Level 1
B	200	Level 2
C	300	Level 3

<tbody>
</tbody>

<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

---

In the table above
Option 1
If I need Service 3,then I would like to calculate the cost based on the Consultant C. List the Consultant C with the service and price
Option 2
If i need Service 1,3 then add the consultants at the relevant rate
Considering Service 1,2,3 Can be done by Consultant C , Consultant B can do Service 1, 2 and Consultant A only Service 1.
I am trying to create a quote spreadsheet , that if the Service offered is selected then the rate is calculated.

Hope this helps.

To do a vlookup like I think you would need, you need to put the service column in the far left. Assuming the data you posted starts in A1 and has the service column moved to the far left a vlookup like:

=vlookup(a2,a1:c4,2,false)

would pull "A" and changing the above 2 to a 3 would pull "100". I think this is along the lines of what you are wanting. Hope this helps.
