• Select the cells in column L you want to have a month drop down list
• Select from the menu Data\Validation
  • Allow: List
  • Source: January,February,March,April
  • OK
• Put this formula in column E8 and drag down

=IF(L8="","",DAY(EOMONTH(L8&" 1, "&YEAR(TODAY()),0)))

Thanks for the prompt replay, actually it was my fault the example i have given was just a general exemple for what i need to do but what i really intend to do is fill the combobox with products available in my shop : trouser,shirts,pants,shoes and in E8 colum i would like to enter the cost of each item automatically for example when i select trouser the number 185 will be displayed automatically , shirts ----> 86 , pants ----->120 , shoes ---->90 , again Alphafrog i'm sorry for wasting your time and not being clear from the beginning and thank you in advance

note :i have already fill the list :trouser,shirts,pants,shoes by following your above method with success.

No problem but your description is still a bit generalized. Specifics are needed to give a complete reply. I assume you have a complete cost list located somewhere?

If the item-cost list is in columns A:B, then this will lookup the cost for the selected item from L9
=IF(L9="","",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(L9,A:A,0)))
