Hello, I have three columns: a1:a10, numbers 1-10, b1:b10, descriptions, C1:c10, dollar amounts for b1:b10. I use a random number (=randombetween(1,10) to generate a number for a1:a10. Now, I would like to have excel take the random number, match it to the appropriate number in a1:a10, and display the appropriate description and cost (columns b and c) in e1. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

Configuration: Windows Vista
Safari 532.0

Thanks for your attention. I was able to get it to work using vlookup. Much simpler and faster
