I have a large worksheet and hate to use the fill down for this.

Here's my scenario:

In column A there are different values. Examples: ADJ, REFUND, TUI, STE,
BKS, etc.
In column B, I need there to be an A or an E depending on which value is in
column A. So, if ADJ, TUI or STE are in column A, an A would go in column B.
If the value in Column A is REFUND or BKS, then E would go in Column B.

Any suggestions on how to make this work?

Thanks!

One way

=IF(OR(A1={"ADJ";"TUI";"STE"}),"A",IF(OR(A1={"REFU ND";"BKS"}),"E",""))

assuming they start in A1, copy down as long as needed

Jess,

try

IF(OR((A:A="REFUND"),(A:A="BKS")),"E","A")

This may help:

Sub testing()
Dim rowassignment
Dim numberofrows

numberofrows = 6

For rowassignment = 1 To numberofrows
For x = 1 To 5
If Cells(rowassignment, 1).Value = "ADJ" Then
Cells(rowassignment, 2).Value = "A"
Else: Cells(rowassignment, 2).Value = "E"
End If
Next x
Next rowassignment
End Sub

I don't know how to make it check for more than one value (i.e. "ADJ") so
unless someone else can help, you will have to copy and paste the above,
changing what it is checking for each time in the macro. Hope this helps.

Believe it or not, I found the answer to my own question in the Microsoft
Assistance pages. The answer was written by Ashish Mathur, a Microsoft MVP
(Most Valuable Professional) and can be found here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...549021033.aspx. This is
what I was trying to do but didn't understand all the values in the little
formula.

thanks!
