Hello Excel Gurus, I'm seeking what I hope will be easy-to-follow advice for an average user!
I have a sheet with 43000+ rows; I have to convert a column of information by matching the first few characters and replacing it with a full unit name. How can I do this with a formula that I can easily cut and paste through 43K rows? Or is there another way to do this?
Here's a sample of the character/name legend (there are 15 or so more).
Thanks so much in advance.
