Hi there,

I would like my drop down list to contain a detailed description of what the user is entering, but only return the numerical value.
On Sheet1, I would like dropdown list to appear in Cells F7-F99.
On Sheet2, I have my dropdown list information;
Column A Column B
1 0 0 - STD
2 1 1 - Receivable
3 8 8 - Exempt
4 9 9 - N/A

I would like the dropdown list description to show column B, but return what is in column A.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Opps, it deleted all my spaces. Hopefully below makes more sense..

............Column A.........Column B
Row 1....0.....................0 - STD
Row 2....1.....................1 - Receivable
Row 3....8.....................8 - Exempt
Row 4....9.....................9 -N/A
