Default Convert Employee Numbers to names in Excel

Dennis, Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if VLOOKUP will work. Basically
I'm scanning employee ID badges (ID #) into an excel spreadsheet for
attendance purposes. Each meeting may have different employees as well as be
in a different order. What I want to do is run a macro to read the employee #
and then "paste" their name behind it or in the next column.

Assuming you have a sheet with employee numbers and names listed, check out
the VLOOKUP function.

Hi,
I have several Excel Spreadsheets with lists of employee numbers (ex. 12345,
12346, 12347 etc.) I would like to automatically convert those numbers to
names (ex. 12345 = Smith, John). is there some way to do this with a macro?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
