Hi everyone,
new here, so bear with me.
I have a spreadsheet full of letters A,B,C...N,O in separate cells
I would like to replace these letters by names. Just as there are 15 letters, I have 15 names to match.
A = John
B= Pete
C= Dave
etc.
Names are placed into the worksheet too, to be able to refer to them.
I did this manually with the "Search and Replace function" but I am sure that Excel has a much more clever way to do this than do the Replace stuff 15 separate times.
I can't figure it out and it frustrates me beyond all recognition...
Can anyone help me out? I have no experience at all with VBA.
Thanks ever so much for your effort in advance.
Best,
Thomas
/The file is a schedule for students working shifts in teams of 2. A colleague made this schedule for me with special software. Could have inserted names instead of letters in the first place, but what's the fun in that.../
