Ok, so mine is pretty simple, but I haven't done it before and am getting stressed trying to look..

- I have Sheet 1 and 2.
- Sheet 1 Cell 2A has a drop down list of data that is on Sheet 2 B1
- On Sheet 1 Cell 2B I want to be 'If Sheet 2 Cell B1 is selected then B2 goes in to Sheet 1 Cell 2B'.

Ok, it sounded simple in my head until I started explaining it - perhaps I've overcomplicated it..

Let me know!

Thanks

Nikki

Welcome to MrExcel.

Is it is a case of Sheet1 B2 = the list item below that selected in Sheet1 A2 ?????

If so then....
If Sheet2 DV list is name as e.g. 'BList'

BList=Sheet2!$B$1:$B$10


Hope that helps.
