lookup
You should create a 2 column table like this:
...........J..........K 1.....AAA......9 2.....AA.........8 3.....A............7 4.....BBB.......6 5.....BB.........5 Then use a lookup formula like this: F1 = lookup value = BBB =VLOOKUP(F1,J$1:K$5,2,0) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "gvb132" wrote in message ...
