I've created a drop down menu in E1, what i am try to do is link F1 & G1 to the selection i make from the drop down in E1. The example i've given is from A6, B6 & C6. So if i selected Ub-150-14 (A1) from the drop down list (E1) i want 0.58 to appear in F1 and 14.00 in G1. Can some one please show me the steps required to do this. It's driving me mad!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Use Vlookup using the value in E1 as the reference and looking up on the table in A1:C8.

e.g. F1 would be =vlookup(e1,A1:C8,2,false) - should return the appropriate value from the second column of the table, then for G1, use =vlookup(e1,A1:C8,3,false).

This assumes your dropdown list is created via data validation. If not, make sure your listbox or combobox or whatever is linked to cell E1.
