Default Excel formula

I am looking for the formula to enter in Excel to populate a cell with the
text description that corresponds to the selected numeric value selected in a
separate cell.

Thanks.

I'm guessing you'll be able to use the VLOOKUP function.

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions:

Does that help?
