Replacing data in one column with another

[babypink2807]

Hi

I have a column which has the following numbers

01
02
04
05

These numbers represent a depot

01 Leeds
02 Manchester
04 Huddersfield
05 Lincoln

I need Excel to look up the 01 and replace it with Leeds

Both sets of data are in a different table the old way has been to do CTR and F which is becoming a pain as we are increasing depots etc. SO would prefer that I can say if its 01 please replace with Leeds

Thank you

Have a look at the Vlookup function.
There's a tutorial on it here

Hey there!

VLOOKUP will be the way to go. It would look something like this. H1:I5 is the lookup table. Column A is the column with the numbers you described in your post. Column B is the output from the VLOOKUP function.

Excel 2007 32 bit

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J
Manchester	Lookup:
Leeds	Leeds
Huddersfield	Manchester
Huddersfield	Huddersfield
Lincoln	Lincoln
Leeds
Lincoln
Lincoln
Lincoln
Leeds
Leeds
Lincoln
Manchester
Huddersfield
Manchester
