Test cell for list data and modify cell contents
On a worksheet “ListsAmpl” there are two dynamic named ranges side by
side of equal length SysNamListDesig and SysNamList. …ListDesig contains alphanumeric designators and …List contains corresponding Titles. (I could just use one name as well if need be) On a separate worksheet "Data Entry" there are several columns of data and I need to scan the data and test each cell to see if any of the SysNamListDesig items are present and if they are insert the corresponding title after the designator in the cell. Any help will be appreciated. Robert |

Sounds like the "VLookUp" function would do the job.

Test cell for list data and modify cell contents
The data entry sheet uses data validation to enter all data (several
columns). The titles that I need to append to the designators are intenionaly left off during the data entry to minimize clutter for the users. I then create a report worksheet that includes the titles and some other modifications. Currently what I do is "copy all" the data entry sheet "paste - special - values" so that just values exist on the report sheet and I manual append the titles to the cells with designators. I cant see how to paste the data to the new sheet and at the same time input a formula that uses the vlookup function.

Also I was hoping end the end to send the report worksheet formula
free. thats why I was lookng for a VBA solution that would insert the titles. Which would eleminate another copy and paste values step.

It is still a VLookUp solution.
VLookup will place the titles on the input sheet. You copy the two input columns and paste values on the report sheet. You close the original book with out saving (no vlookup formulas will remain) -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA (ex 3Com - Santa Clara, California) "Robert H" wrote in message Also I was hoping end the end to send the report worksheet formula free. thats why I was lookng for a VBA solution that would insert the titles.

Sorry Jim, but I am confised
Were is the vlookup formula? are you sugesting that I have a column for the designators and one for the titles? I dont see how this gets both into one cell (column) On Jun 16, 6:35*pm, "Jim Cone" wrote: It is still a VLookUp solution. VLookup will place the titles on the input sheet.

"I don't see how this gets both into one cell (column)"
My assumption was you had two columns on both sheets. In any case, assuming two columns on ListsAmpl sheet (A1:B20) containing: ListDesig | Title assuming one column on Data Entry sheet (A1:A20) containing: ListDesig or ListDesigTitle Then use this formula in column B on Data Entry... =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,ListsAmpl!$A$1:$A$20,0)),A1 &INDEX(ListsAmpl!$A$1:$B$20,MATCH(A1,ListsAmpl!$A$ 1:$A$20,0),2),A1) -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA "Robert H" wrote in message Sorry Jim, but I am confised Were is the vlookup formula? are you sugesting that I have a column for the designators and one for the titles?
