pop up when using drop down boxes

[uniquo]

Hi,

How do I include a comment when users access a category in a drop down box? THe comment will change according to the catergory.

Example If I choose strawberry, the strawberry category will show and with it a comment will pop up stating "maximum 10 kgs only" and if I choose apple, the apple category will appear with a pop up comment "maximum 20apples only". I have 4000 of these catergories and would also appreciate some help teaching me how to apply these comments on a mass basis.

Thanks

The easiest thing would be to use VLOOKUP to put the comment in the cell adjacent to the validation selection.

But if you really need a message, this may be a start:
