Well, if you want an approximate match, this would work, but you'd have to
sort your range by column AA...but, I would think you would want an exact
match ... Also, you need to specify the cell with the dropdown as the first
argument to tell Excel where they will be entering this info, so, the
formula should be something like =VLOOKUP(A1,options,2,FALSE)
A1 being the cell where the first dropdown is .... Then just drag it down
the column, using the fill handle

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
