Defining text valves
I have a part number that is 2002-A-BB-MS where 2002=Solenoid Valve A=2-way NC BB=Brass I want to be able to type in 2002-A-BB-MS...and have it say: Solenoid Valve, 2-way NC, Brass... Is there a way for me to do this? -- Shannon8066 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shannon8066's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37552 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=571858 |

Yes, but you will have to build some extensive tables so Excel will know what
each code-segment means...........VLOOKUP is the feature to use....., something like =VLOOKUP(left(a1,4,YourTable,2,FALSE), etc, etc for the other segments. How many options do you have for each segment?

You can do this with a vlookup formula. You would have to have a list
of what the codes meant. For example, create a range name for all of the first values such as data1, the second set could be named data2 and the third data3. The formula would look something like this: =vlookup(left(a1,4),data1,2,0)&", "&vlookup(mid(a1,6,1),data2,2,0)&", "&vlookup(mid(a1,8,2),data3,2,0)) Hope this helps.
