Convert data from one column to another

[RodneyC]

My sheet has 10,000 rows, a lot to work with. For every cell in column D that says DALLAS FT. WORTH I need to populate the the same cell in column K with DALLAS. There are about 70 different cities in column D. I do have a column with all the "convert from" cities with the heading FROM and another column with the "convert to" cities with the heading TO, they just aren't currently reading from/to each other and aren't populating column K.

Thanks in advance.

Can you post a sample or screen shot? I'm assuming this is a simple VLOOKUP against your From & To city references.

This is simply my starting point. There are over 200 different cities in the 10,000 rows of FROM and about 70 cities in the TO column.

Unfortunately this does not provide Cell addresses or Worksheet names.
Just using your example image and assuming the "FROM" is cell A1 and the "TO" is C1 on worksheet "Sheet2".

In column "K" of your Source data (containing your 10K rows).

=VLOOKUP(D1,Sheet2!A1:C11,3,0)

Breakdown of the variables in the formula (function).
D1 - Cell reference should be where your city value "Dallas FT. Worth"
Sheet2!$A$1:$C$11 = Your Conversion table
3 - Column to return , in this case Column "C" ("TO")
0 - False "Exact match"

I hope this helps.

Thanks. About to head out. Will work with it shortly
