i have a long column, where my inputs going to be 1 to 20 (manual)
but in the same cell I would like them to change to certain text as I type for example, if I type 1 and press enter, it should change to the word "John" i.e, 1 John 2 Ron 3 Rob 4 Ross 5 Prince etc. |

Are you saying you will be entering up to 20 and your value after will always
match? Once you enter each of them once, every time after that, autocomplete should assume you want the same value again.. So, enter 1 John once, any time you start entering it down the column, it should assume the John part...

No
I want the number to change to text for example my colmn is A so if I enter 1 in A1, and press enter, 1 should change to John i have code numbers 1 to 20 for 20 different names. I want to type code numbers instead of whole name, but need the same cell to show the right name for right code number "Sean Timmons" wrote: Are you saying you will be entering up to 20 and your value after will always match?

Oh, gotcha
Use Tools - AutoCorrect Enter 1 replace with John Etc. Be sure to delete this when you're done.

Or, if you have 1 in other places, put in your numebrs, then when done, use
Find/Replace Find 20, replace with Bill, etc. Start from highest number down. Otherwise 11 will become JohnJohn.

Hi Raz,
If you are going to use Auto Correct, as Sean suggests, it is best to use a unique character before your number such as [1 ]1 |1 or whatever, it makes no difference what character you use so long as it is a keystroke you are unlikely to use anywhere else in your spreadsheet. Alternatively you could use a helper column with a VLOOKUP formula in it. HTH Martin "Raz" wrote in message ...
