Hi,
Im quite new to excel.
I have a Data Validation drop box in D2 with 5 options, I need it to change to the information from O19 when any txt is inserted into I2 and again from any txt inserted into M2 I need it to change to the information from O20. Validation data information has come from O19:O23.
is there anyway of doing this?
any help would be great.

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
I have a key in O19:O23 of a location status from a site, for instance "left site" In D2:D81 I have a choice of the 5 statuses. When I ender a date into I2 I need it to change the Location in D2 or the corresponding line that it runs in, so if I put a date into I25 it will change the data in D25 to the name and colour of the location in O19 and its the same again from M2:M81 I need it to change the same cell again though D2:D81 to the location that it states in O20. I hope this explains it a bit better.
and I hope you can help.
Sorry I cant send an example I don't know how to, to be honest.
