    Conditional Values in a Form

    Disclaimer: I'm a brand new user of InfoPath, so apologies for a lack of proper terminology.

    I have data in an Excel spreadsheet that shows how many days of training time an individual is authorized in a particular position based upon that individual's level of experience. Here is a simplified version of what I'm dealing with:

                            EXP LEVEL 1       EXP LEVEL 2

    POSITION A        15 DAYS               6 DAYS

    POSITION B        12 DAYS               3 DAYS

    In Infopath, I am creating a form with drop down menus for POSITION and EXP Level. The form should automatically display a value for DAYS AUTHORIZED based upon the results from the table. For example, if the user selects POSITION A from one drop down menu, and EXP LEVEL 2 from the second drop down menu, the form should automatically display 6 DAYS in a third field.

    This seems like it should be a relatively simple operation, but it has me completely flummoxed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

     I think what you're describing is a cascading dropdown. Check out this blog, perhaps it will help.

    Good luck.
