Hello,
We download data from a software package that uses numbers 0,1,2,3,4 to
indicate a catagory.
0 - Salary
1- Medical Aid
2 - Benefits
3 - Car Allowance
4 - Mobile Allowance

This information is downloaded into Excel into a table.
Want to convert the the 0, 1, 2, etc into the relevant string (Salary or
Medical Aid etc), the function Choose does not allow 0 to be as an index.
Is there a alternative formula, or is there a way to get the Choose
function
to read the 0?

Thank you and best regards

Max
