Hello Everyone,

What I want here is when user selects the Drop down list "marked red".

Here I need two things as solution.

1. ---  I need to map the Drop down items like -Not started, Completed etc to the Numbers mentioned in Brackets.

 

2. --- When user selects the Dropdown list, The corresponding number should automatically populate on Column (Rate when option selected). Ex:- 3 populate upon second option (Started and initial phase)

 

Please explain with example..

 

Please help...

Create a lookup list as in the screenshot below. Here, it is on the same sheet, but it can be on another sheet if you prefer.

The formula in C2 is

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,$G$2:$H$6,2,FALSE),"")

This can be filled down if required.

It means that :
1st - i have to create dropdownlist in Option list column.
2nd - Then i have to put formula in C2
then it will come Rate according to Option list.

Is this correct sir ?
