Default CHOOSE function - more than 29 items

Hi,

Is there a way of using the CHOOSE function if you have more than 29 values?
AND
Is there a way of avoiding typing in all of the 29 (or more) values into the
formula box?

Thank you

Wouldn't VLOOKUP with a lookup table be better suited than a great whack of
values in one CHOOSE formula?

Or with a list of sorted values in A1:A34 and a list of values in B1:B34

In D1 enter =LOOKUP(C1,A1:A34,B1:B34)

Enter a lookup value in C1
