You can use vlookup() like this:

(1) crate a table like this:

the first line is a heading row

the first column contains the same list of items in the context menu

the second column contains the corresponding values

name of the table 'value '.

In another table (where the pop-up menu), you can use the table of choice of 'Value' like this:

create a drop-down list in cell B1

Select cell C1 and type (or copy and paste) the formula:

= VLOOKUP (B1, Value::A:B, 2, 0)

short hand for this is:

C1 = VLOOKUP (B1, Value::A:B, 2, 0)

now change the pop-up to display the value in the change of cell C1
