Default Translate from Numbers to Descriptions

Each month many of us receive an auto-export in Excel that contains data that
we use to create charts and Pivot Tables from. One of the columns contains
numbers that reference a description that is not stored on the database that
contains the export.

We receive about 1000 records and what I have been doing is performing a
Search and Replace but now there are 100 descriptions!

I used to work with VLookup but was wondering if anyone has done something
like this with a macro as well.

I have Excel 2003
