Couldn't you just use VLOOKUP?

What should be the VBA code to auto fill the column B given the values of
column A. A couple of years ago I solved this problem but can not remember
how I did that, all I remember is that I created a function (that included
the select case because of the number of entries) and accessed it from the
worksheet.
Thanks
