Default Massive Find and Replace

Assuming you have Codes and Names in Sheet1
and Codes in Sheet2 Col F, which you want replaced by Names

Enter this in G1
=VLOOKUP(F1,Sheet1!A:B,2,False)
and copy down till the last row with Codes in Col F

You will get company names in Col G (and #N/A for those codes not found in
Sheet1)

You can then Copy Col G, Paste Special|Values on Col G and delete Col F
