Bart,

Using event code you can do it

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("B2:H10")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Select Case .Value
Case 1: .Value = "Mark"
Case 2: .Value = "John"
Case 3: .Value = "Bill"
End Select
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Extend the list as far as you want.

I want to do my schedule with Excell, and I was wondering if it's possible
to
type a number and get a name instead... for example if on the 3rd of
february, Mark is working, and that I associate the number 1 to Mark. is
there a way that if I type "1" under the 3rd of february, that converts it
directly to Mark?
thanks
Gaetan
