You can craete a macro to do the same thing as one of Excel's worksheet
functions but ... WHY?

Thanks for the speedy reply. My thoughts run thus: Will I have to add these
vlookup formulae each time? Or is there a way to simply replace the bad
numbers, keep the good ones and move on?

Maybe I'm thinking vlookup can only be used in a formula and not in a macro.
Perhaps I don't understand macros well enough.

Create a Conversion worksheet.
Col A has the old #, Col B has the new #.
Now you can use the vLookup function to get the new # for all your lists.

How can it be done? I have a list of old, busted numbers, I want to replace
them with new, shiny numbers. Not all lists that will be subject to the
macro will have all part numbers.

Sometimes, I'm saying, the macro will be searching for numbers that aren't
there. They are gennerally of a ABC12345 format, a 3 letter prefix and a 5
digit part number such as UNV51001.

I'll be loading a customers pricing, running the macro, and uploading it to
a new system. The new system doesn't like certain numbers, so we must
convert them.
