Thanks for your reply. However, i would like A1 and B1 only to have validation list. C1 should indicate the result.
For example:
if A1 is 5 and B1 is E then C1 should indicate "H"
if A1 is 2 and B1 is E then C1 should indicate "M"
if A1 is 2 and B1 is B then C1 should indicate "L"
Pls help, i've been banging my head over this. Thanks.

FIRST CLEAR c1 (CLEAR ALL0
THEN TYPE THIS FORMULA IN C1
=IF(AND(A1=5,B1="E"),"H",IF(AND(A1=2,B1="E"),"M",IF(AND(A1=2,B1="B"),"L","")))
Now choose A1 and B1 from validatgion list and if you choose the items echich you have indicated in the three choices then automatically you willl get C1 and also the counts in E1

=IF(AND(A1=5,B1="E"),"H",IF(AND(A1=2,B1="E"),"M",IF(AND(A1=2,B1="B"),"L","")))

Above validation list has following combination:
if A1 is 1 and B1 is A then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 2 and B1 is A then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 3 and B1 is A then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 4 and B1 is A then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 1 and B1 is B then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 2 and B1 is B then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 3 and B1 is B then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 1 and B1 is C then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 2 and B1 is C then C1 should indicate "L"
if A1 is 1 and B1 is D then C1 should indicate "L"

I wonder whether such large number of combination the formula will be so complex that you annot modify or change it. besides in some versions there is restsriction of sesven nested if(s). perhpas one can try a macro. are you comfortable with a macro

If the Macros can do the trick, then why not! will it be possible that the formulas will be automatically copied whenever i insert a new row?

yes it is possible. but I think that restriction of number nested ifs valid in macro also.
APPEARS TO BE A NEW SOLUTION
See the file given in webpage
http://speedy.sh/YqW6b/SASY-3-130706.xlsx
the data is from rows 21 down (only s ample of your data is taken to explai)
A and B data here and C formulla anad D particular letter
A1 B1 have validations. see C1 and D1 formulas.
does this serve your purpose
