I have a table with 5 columns and each row is a option A, option B, option C and so on. Each column is a different category with a drop down list of options to choose from. column 6 I want to auto populate an entry based on what is selected in each drop down list in the first 5 columns. I am not quite sure how to have MUTIPLE formulas (outside of my table) that reference the selections on columns 1-5 in the table. PLEASE HELP!!!!

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Welcome to the Board!

Do you have a reference table listing all of the possible combinations and the results you want returned? If you do, then you can use a helper column to concatenate the selections, then VLOOKUP off of that.

It'll help if you post a shot of what you've got now (see the HTML Maker link in my sig for how), and what you want as a result.
