Excel Vba Problem - Validate Data in cell
 

Hello,
I have been trying to validate the entry & change its valu
in a cell when user enters it.For Eg:
In column G I have enteries for permissions as 1,2,3
which have to be interpreted as
1-Read Only
2-Assessor
3-Reviewer
I have written a macro that searches and replaces them.But what I a
looking for is the value of the cell should change as soon as the use
enters its value .So when user enters 1 its hould change to Read-onl
