[srizki]

I have list A in column of over 17000 rows, I want to change from List A to List B in another column.
So when ever formual find a word from list A, it should replace it with corresponding list B's word.

Isn't that just a Vlookup...

=VLOOKUP(D1,$A$1:$B$17,2,0)

Looking up the value in D1

Table $A$1:$B$17

2nd Column

A bit messy but it does the trick. Alternative would be a VBA approach

Excel Workbook
	A	B
1	Ops Techs	Operations
2	Ops SL	Operations
3	Ops SSS	Operations
4	FTM	FTM
5	Resources Techs	Resources
6	Resources Contractors	Resources
7	ST Techs	ST Techs
8	Training	Other
9	FAS	Other
10	Ops Contractors	Operations
11	ST	Other
12	BI	Other
13	0	Other
14	Resources Internship	Resources
15	SCM	Other
16	EHS	Other
Sheet1

Thank you to both of you.

Jeff, for some reasons a simple vlookup formula gives wrong result.
Njimac, I found another formula not Vlookup as Jeff suggested but LOOKUP formula.
I used,
=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,SEARCH(D1,A1:A10),B1:B10)

This works great, and it reminds me Aladin, because he gave me that formula long time ago.

Thanks
