Drop down-list translation
I run Excel 2003 on Windows Vista.
I want to drive an HTML page with the following excerpt: <select id="title" name="title" tabindex='0' onfocus='rememberMyFocus(" title");' <option value=""-- Please select --</option <option value="0001"Ms</option <option value="0002"Mr</option <option value="Z030"Mrs</option <option value="Z040"Miss</option .... </select I have a drop down list, populated from the first column in: Titles Code Ms 0001 Mr 0002 Mrs Z030 Miss Z040 .... In VBA code, I can easily translate titles to codes with something like Private Function TranslateTitle(ByVal Title As String) As String Select Case Title Case "Ms" TranslateTitle = "0001" Case "Mr" TranslateTitle = "0002" Case "Mrs" TranslateTitle = "Z030" Case "Miss" TranslateTitle = "Z040" ... End Select End Function I prefer to do the translation in Excel, itself and have a cell formula =VLOOKUP(B5, Sheet3!A2:B69, 2, False) That does not use the offset in the named range I use for validation. Is there a "better" way to do the translation? -- Walter Briscoe |

Thank you. That is sweet. I have 2 lists with about 20 and about 50
translations. I use the choose method for the shorter and the index method for the latter, so I have examples of both.
