I have 3000 codes in column A1. I have 3000 company names in column A2. I
have a seperate worksheet that has column F with random codes. I need the codes replaced with the company names. Any ideas? |

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 "Brian D" wrote: I have 3000 codes in column A1.

You can use VLOOKUP for this. Note, though, that A1 and A2 are
individual cells, not columns, so your post is a bit confusing. I think you mean that you have codes in column A and names in column B - suppose these are in Sheet1, and in Sheet2 you have your random codes in column F. You can use this formula in G2: =VLOOKUP(F2,Sheet1!A$1:B$3000,2,0) and then just copy this down for as many random codes as you have. Hope this helps.
