My proble is I have to use abbreviations in the cell Im writing in and then
when ever that word is placed in a cell I want it to transfer to a specific
cell in another sheet.Example: y11 would be placed in a cell in sheet 1 and
it would transfer to a cell in sheet three that said yard1????

What is the correlation between an unknown abbreviation and
a specific unspecified cell. Did you try recording a macro to
get you started. If you can do the specific steps needed
manually to do what you ask you can record a macro.

Being able to describe what you want is usually half way toward
a solution.

I would suggest you have a read in Help on VLOOKUP.

You will need a two column table with your abbreviations and words then a
VLOOKUP formula in a cell on Sheet3.

If you post a sample list of abbreviations and words and where you want the
output, we could come up with a formula.

the second sheet is where the abbreviations have to go and they need to
transfer to the above spots so that when you enter a abbreviation in sheet 2
it copies the cells next to it to the 3 sheet
