actually.. im trying to have a simple invoice but with a drop down
menu.

if possible i would like to have Quantity, bike name, bike parts,
brand, price, amount.

bike price u dont have to worry about it.. i can use vlookup..

i think its easier if we have bike brand, bike parts, bike name..... ..
i want is drop down menu break into smaller parts ... coz i have many
stock.. too many.. i need to break it down by using drop down menu..
the formula i believe isnt easy to deal with... please take your time
if u want to help me...

thx for the quick reply mate.

how come when i select KGW brand, i couldnt see Side mirror? i realised
u only select fms list.. there is kgw list too...

bike name = motorcycle name.. = a100, cb100, gl100, supra.. etc etc

actually i prefer to be

Column A: Brand
Column B: Motorcycle parts
Column C: Motorcycle Name (bike name)

dont worry about the price.. coz i can just use vlookup and another
formula to do it..

last thing to note.. when i select either one of the brand say KGW..
instead of showing me all the motorcycle parts that includes fms...
only kgw parts needs to be there... and after i select side mirror..
there is only 5 bike names in there (GL-PRO CDI, PRIMA, ,PRO NEOTECH,
Supra, Tornado).. and not all the bike names.. which makes it so
inefficient.. becoz i have so many stocks...... thousands..... thx

hi
bout the side mirror i was wondering too - i didnt change that 1
just checked ur orginal file - same here only 2 choise
u could use KGWList in both cases

bout :

> Column A: Brand
> Column B: Motorcycle parts
> Column C: Motorcycle Name (bike name)

is no problem to make it so

bout this:

> last thing to note.. when i select either one of the brand say KGW..

> only kgw parts needs to be there... and after i select side mirror..
> there is only 5 bike names in there (GL-PRO CDI, PRIMA, ,PRO NEOTECH,
