Replacing a number value with text from array
I need to be able to replace customer ID numbers with the customer name on a massive scale. Is there any way i can say "13562 = Costco" for about 3000 different IDs. I have the master list of ids to names, but how would i go about doing a mass replace like this? Cant do a sort and cut/paste because some entries have the same customer id number. IE. 13562 13562 14200 15873 15873 15873 Thanks!

Say your master list (ID - Name) is in F1:G999
and the list of IDs is in A1:A100 In B1, enter: =VLOOKUP(A1,F1:G999,2,0) and drag down the formula HTH -- AP "JB1981" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

Replacing a number value with text from array
Great! got the look up to work, but when i copy the formula down it changes all of the cell values =VLOOKUP(A3, C2:D22,2,0) =VLOOKUP(A4, C3:D23,2,0) =VLOOKUP(A5, C4:D24,2,0) need it to just change the A column, and keep the C2:D22,2,0 the same. Any ideas?
