Hi ,
Sorry just to make it clear.
I meant two worksheets . Second Worskeet , I have values in the cell A1 = A , B1=1, A2=B, B2=2
Now on the first worksheet, if I make dropdown for value A and B , I need to make a if statement or any other, if I drop down A or B , I should get corresponding value on the nearby cell . How is it achievable ?

This should work, it really depends on what you're trying to achieve. A VLookup maybe more suitable however with your description it's hard to tell.

=IF(A1="A";Sheet2.B1;Sheet2.B2)

Basically it's if A1 equals A then it will return the value of cell B1 in sheet 2. Otherwise it will return the value in cell B2 in sheet 2. If you're going to have more than 2 values e.g. A, B, C, D, etc, then you will need to use VLookup.

Hi,
The objective is to prepare a quote , with multiple options on it . Lets say on Second sheet (workbook) , if the total price is mentioned and third and fourth sheet with multiple vendors . How can i add pull down menu in the first sheet , where if i pull down menu for each , corresponding value shows up ?

Any idea. Sorry for asking the same questions, as i couldnt get the idea behind this :)
