Excel forumla, read from another sheet and match text

Bit of a long shot asking.

I'm using Excel, to create an expenses claim form.

Sheet 1 is called details.

It contains a list of places I visit, along with the distance travelled.

Sheet 2 is called October.

I write the name of the place I visit in Column A.

I want, Column B to auto fill the distance of the place I write in Column A, by reading the info from Column B beside the matching location in column A in Sheet 1.

Example.

Sheet 1

A1 Location A2 Distance
House 1 28km
House 2 15.5km

Sheet 2

I select from a drop down menu and pick the place i visit.

A1 Location A2 Distance
(menu) (auto fills based on the drop down menu and reads from sheet 1)

Is this possible?

Secondly, in Column C on Sheet 2, I want it to then multiply the value in Column B and multiply it by 2 and then multiply it by a value defined in another cell. Say sheet 1, Column C Row 3 for example.

Once drop down menu is selected, it multiply's the value under A2 on sheet 2 by 2 and then by another value in a diff cell.

Anyone handy with Excel able to confirm if this can be done, and secondly, anyone wanna try making it work?

Thanks in advance!
