IF..., then....
 

If value in cell a1 = value in cell a2 or a3 or a4, then display the value in
cell b2 in cell c2
If value in cell a1 = value in cell a5 or a6 or a7, then display the value
in cell b5 in cell c2
If value in cell a1 = value in cell a8 or a9, then display the
value in cell b8 in cell c2

Thanks Paul,

This works. Is there any way to shorten the equation ?

I have about 1000 values in cells a2 through a1000.

I only have about 10 values in the b column.

In other words, a2 through a100 will = "a" in column b
and
a101 through a200 will = "b" in column b
and
a201 through a300 will = "c" in column b

etc....

Is there any way to

IF(COUNTIF(A2:A100,A1)0,B2,IF(COUNTIF(A101:A200,A 1)0,B5,IF(COUNTIF(A201:A3
