In the example given on this page, Toyota makes the Prius, not Honda or Nissan. So, If you select Toyota, the next column shows you *only* the models that Toyota makes.
In your example, there is no correlation between Type and Size. They are independent. But the price depends on both.
What you need is a table, type and size being the columns and rows. The cells that these two columns/rows define, put the prices. For instance, Basic/S = $10, Basic/M = $12, Basic/L = $14. Premium/S = $20, Premium/M = $22, Premium/L = $24, and so on.
Once you have your table defined, you have *independent* drop-down menus for Type and Size (or you can enter the data yourself) but in the Price column, you have a lookup function which use the table you defined. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You don&#8217;t want linked drop-down menus here.

Hows it going ?
Thanks for this but Im trying to do something a little different. I do sales with shirts that are imported.
So I have lets say 3 dropdowns . Type, Size, Price.
Type : Basic, Premium, Womens
Size: S,M,L
Price: $9.95.$10.00 ect
But I would like to link those for example:
If I click on Basic, and then I choose Medium I want the dropdown cell to say 9.95 and so on.
Next line its a Basic, Large but theres a different price of $10 so the price automatically changes according to size.
I suppose I dont need 3 as I can always say Basic Small, Basic Medium ect so it would change to 2 rows .
But after that I still want the other rows to work out calculations automatically .
Once thats set up and it automatically goes to 9.95 and then the next row adds 35% markup to whatever is in the cell next to it.
Hope im making sense.
Thanks

I&#039;m a procurement Officer dealing with several request from various departments, each request must have minimum of (3) three quotation which will be analysed showing the Description, Qty, Rate and Amount for all vendors that  participated in the bid. It is simply impossible to present all this as report to your boss when you have as many as 100 request monthly with minimum of 10 request on every analysis sheet.
what i wanna do is type eg.
1. procurement of oil filter for Land cruiser jeep, etc and when the report is clicked it will take you to the main source where you&#039;ll see the price at which it was procured, qutities and the winner of the bid. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;m having problem linking my report to the main analysis sheet.</p><p>I&#039;m a procurement Officer dealing with several request from various departments, each request must have minimum of (3) three quotation which will be analysed showing the Description, Qty, Rate and Amount for all vendors that  participated in the bid.
