[mso] Re: Excel menu option validation- Option code only?

Linda-

Should this work?

=vlookup(Options, 2)

"Options" is my range of options, the options in column AA and their
respective code in column AB.

Thanks.

Robert

Or, why not use a VLOOKUP to add the single letter to an adjacent cell, once
they choose the name from the dropdown?

I doubt that a validation list can do this - it really is just a way to
select values for the cell.

You can set up a list control that will show both of them but only store one

in its linked cell, but that cell is separate to where the list itself is.

Why do you need just the single letter?
