Default Converting Text

I'm working on a checkbook Registry and need to figure out how to convert
text codes into names. Here an example
code name
WA = Washington Mutual
WB = Water Bill
EP = Electric Payment
Please help with this. I have an entire budget workbook setup and this is
the last thing to figure out. I have an input page that I log everything in
and need the codes to be converted to names on the checkbook. thanks

Default Converting Text

Let's say your code in Column A, and names in Column B
=VLOOKUP("WA",A1:B100,2,0)
