To keep in just one cell all values related to a monthly rate
I have to update in a monthly basis a currency rate.
I know that there is a function, formula (or something like that) to link a month descripton to a number. e.g. September09 1,325 October09 2,235 November09 1,258 I would like to select correspondent month and the cell be updated with the value. |

Data Validation dropdown list for choosing the month combined with a lookup
table and VLOOKUP function. For help on creating data validation dropdown lists see Debra Dalgleish's site. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlDataVal01.html For help on VLOOKUP to populate the currency rate after choosing a date see also at Debra's site. http://www.contextures.on.ca/xlFunctions02.html Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 25 May 2010 07:51:01 -0700, Dalcin wrote: I have to update in a monthly basis a currency rate.

First of all: Thank you very much for your answer!
I tried Data Validation but I don't know how "to link" the month to the value. I would like to select the month in the drop down list and as result a cell shows up just the value linked to the month.

That's what VLOOKUP is used for.
Did you look at Debra's site for help on that function? Gord On Tue, 25 May 2010 11:14:06 -0700, Dalcin wrote: First of all: Thank you very much for your answer!
