i need a help with making a automatic formula within ms excel , if someone can please help that would be great. 

 

 

 

i have drawn what i want to do  here : below and then explained it in words . 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so basically i have two sheets, sheet 1 - main sheet ( it has lot of columns )   , and sheet 2 - type and values sheet. 

 

 

 

when am working on sheet 1 , i want to be able to drop down type ( available from sheet 2 )  on the far left  , and once i do that ,  excel grabs the corresponding values , as per its valuation table  ( on sheet 2 )  , and drops it in the respective location of sheet 1  . 

 

 

 

 

 

is this something possible. can some one make a demo sheet and give me a example ? thanks heaps :)

Data validation - will give you the drop down box - select the range you want for 'type'

 

vlookup to then get 'value' what you need from the list.
