Please give further details of what you are trying to achieve. It
sounds like VLOOKUP is the function which you can use to do this.

Well i'm trying to make a list where in the cell you select one name,in the
list, and it gives you one code in the same cell,is this making any sense?.
How ever if i use any funcion that shows me that have a circular reference.
That VLOOKUP doesn't work for the same cell.it has to read and write in the
same cell.

.. trying to make a list where in the cell you select one name, in the
list, and it gives you one code in the same cell


Option 1: From a post by Debra Dalgleish ..
You can do this with data validation and programming.
There's a sample file he

Under Data Validation, look for DV0005 - Data Validation "Columns"

Option 2: Use a combo box from the control toolbox toolbar
Try this sample from my archives which illustrates:
