replace a number with a string from database
 

I want to do the following:
I have in collumn "A" numbers from 1 to 60 and in Collumn "B" there
are corresponding names next to every number. This is my database.
Now i want to write a number between 1 and 60 in a cell in Collumn "D"
and in the cell next to it in collumn "E" shall come up the
corresponding text, which is defined in Column "a" and "B".

How do I write this macro?

I don't think you need a macro. A simple vlookup formula will work.

Place this formula in cell E1 and use cell D1 as your input cell.

=VLOOKUP(D1,A1:B60,2,FALSE)
