Help Please

[cynder77]

I am tired of filling in data that already exists in my spreadsheet ove
and over . I have a list of model numbers that tend to repea
fairly often since i am tracking shipping discrepancies. I am als
tracking the cost per peice of each model. I would like the cost t
automatically fill in if the model exists higher in the table.

EG

COLUMN A = Models, COLUMN C = Cost per peice.

If cell A1 = A4 then cell C1 = C4

Any help any of you could provide would be much appreciated

in C2 put in the formula
=if(A2="","",vlookup(A2,$A$1:C1,3,False))

then drag fill this down the column.

When you enter a model in column A and this shows an error, you can enter
the price manually. Otherwise, the previous price will be shown.
