Default Need help with changing data after it has been imported.

I have posted this similar questions before and tried the suggested answer
with no success.

I am importing a large amount of data to be sorted and placed in a pivot
table. One of the fields being sorted from the data is a user input, by
multiple users. Well all the user don't call the same things by the same
names. Ex. User John puts in "Comp.". User Jane puts in "PC". What I want
the field to say is "Computer". Someone had suggested to use the autocorrect
tools, the problem is I can't modify the input program, I have to pull the
data the way the user inputs it and then I end up changing it all manually.

If there is anyway I can define a list like the autocorrect options or a
macro doing the same thing, I would be very thankful if anyone had any good
ideas on how to accomplish this.

Thanks,
