If you have a set number of numeric values, you could create a separate table
of those, for example, in A1 thru B4: ID No. Department 1 Marketing 2 Accounting 3 Sales You could then use VLOOKUP: If your numeric item is in C2, the formula would be =VLOOKUP(C2,A$1$:B$4$,2,False). I find it best to have the data table on a separate sheet. Use the VLOOKUP function from the formula bar (Excel 2003).

For example, If the pre-determined value in a field is 1, I want it to automatically update to "Marketing".
