Formula help/Drop down list

[ineedhelp]

Hello,

I've been able to figure out this formula to get the value listed in C3 (pulling from a separate tab) but I am trying to link it to the drop down list (where it says Banksville) so that when a separate name is selected, the value changes to reflect the correct value. 

as you can see, I selected a different name from the drop down but the formula in D7 didn't automatically update like I need it to. 

I had to change the formula to say =HLOOKUP('with dollar amount pick '!DO2,'with dollar amount pick '!B2:GS30,2,FALSE) for the correct value to populate.

Can someone please help me automate this?

Hi @ineedhelp 

You can use below Index/Match function to auto populate the value based on selection:

=INDEX(Sheet2!$E$3:$E$10,MATCH($C$1,Sheet2!$D$3:$D$10,0))

Sample file is attached for your reference.

Please let me know if it works for you

This is perfect. As a follow up, the amount that is in C4 (the desired revenue increase), when a number is manually entered into it, I need it to automatically update a specific cell in a separate tab. For example:

I need to be able to manually put a number in (say 30,000) where it says 20,000

and have 30,000 be populated in DP2

Any ideas how I could do that?
