Hi, I have a sheet in which I have created a drop down list. This contains 4 options Void, Rent Inclusive, Cap/Lease Defect and None. How am I able to set the sheet up so that when the user selects one of these options it automatically populates a cell in the table with a figure copied from another cell? And then if they change the drop down list option it goes back to say blank again?

My table looks like the above. So what I want is to be able to select each of the drop down list options (they will be the same for all col B) and for this to have the following result:

Void - insert the Total Budget Figure (£100) into the Annual Charge to Landlord cell and then in the Quarterly cell show the amount reflecting 25% I,e 25.
Rent inclusive - the same as void above.
None - as per void above but this time populating the Annual Charge to Tenant cell and then the Quarterly figure.
Cap/Lease Defect - no action required.

I have shown as an example in the table how the above would look.

Hope you can help.

Best regards

Iain

Try:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Intersect(Target, Range("E:E,AD:AD")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    On Error GoTo errHandler
    If Target.Column = 5 Then
        Select Case Target.Value
            Case "Void", "Rent Inclusive"
                Cells(Target.Row, 30).Resize(1, 5).ClearContents
                Target.Offset(0, 27) = Target.Offset(0, 24)
                Target.Offset(0, 29) = Target.Offset(0, 24) * 0.25
            Case "None"
                Cells(Target.Row, 30).Resize(1, 5).ClearContents
                Target.Offset(0, 26) = Target.Offset(0, 24)
                Target.Offset(0, 28) = Target.Offset(0, 24) * 0.25
            Case "Select"
                Cells(Target.Row, 30).Resize(1, 5).ClearContents
            Case "Cap/Lease Defect"
                Target.Offset(0, 27) = Target.Offset(0, 24)
                Target.Offset(0, 29) = Target.Offset(0, 24) * 0.25
        End Select
    ElseIf Target.Column = 30 Then
        If Range("E" & Target.Row) = "Cap/Lease Defect" Then
            Target.Offset(0, 1) = Target
            Target.Offset(0, 2) = Target.Offset(0, -1) - Target
            Target.Offset(0, 3) = Target * 0.25
            Target.Offset(0, 4) = Target.Offset(0, 2) * 0.25
        End If
    End If
errHandler:
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

That's it - working perfectly. Thanks so much for your help. I would never have been able to do this myself. How did you learn the coding? Did you use if professionally? I am thinking about buying a beginners book and learning myself.

You are very welcome. A good place to start is the very first post in this forum (highlighted in blue). Also try these links. The first one is from hiker95:

I find the best sources are forums such as this one and doing on-line searches. I hope that helps.
