I have added to your macro what you were missing but what I don't understand is: Column "C" which contains both County and City Names Is this a typo or does the cell contain both ? or is it County or City Names ? Elsewise your macro needs to check 'inside' the cells for the City; as your created the macro it's supposed that the contents of a cell is exactly as the name in array City.

try using Match function to check the value exists in your array.

Rich (BB code): 
For n = Lastrow To 1 Step -1 'finds the last row and works its way up
        
          If Not IsError(Application.Match(Range("C" & n).Value, City, 0)) Then
            Range("B" & n).Value = Range("C" & n).Value 'Copies the contents from column "C" to "B"
            Range("C" & n).Value = "" 'Deletes contents in column "C" after it was copied
          End If
        Next

This works, Thank you for the quick reply. Going to do some more research into LBound and Ubound to figure out what it does. This is the only way to learn.

This worked as well, less lines and faster. I ran both options and Rollis13' way ran in 0.445 Seconds and dmt32's way ran in 0.224 seconds

Well, to make it simple, LBound and Ubound would be First and Last index of element of data in array (starts from 0).
Yes, Match is much faster that looping through the entire array. That's why there is the function ;).
You didn't answer to my question on the contents of a cell.

To answer the question about the data. I have to download data from an online database. When the data gets here, the Cites and Counties are listed as a number in one column. I had to have a different array set up to change the numbers to County or City names first. I am going to use this data to populate a PDF form so I needed to separate the cities from counties because the PDF form has a box for City and One for County. I hope this made since. Thanks for your help, I am learning VBA and every little bit helps.

Usually when I look up code, the examples given either don't make since or they use examples that have nothing to do with what I am trying to do. That makes it hard for me to learn.
I was under the impression that LBound and UBound only had to be used in an array that is like this: Arr1("001", "002", ...) Arr2("Accomack", "Albemarle",...). I thought that UBound would be the upper array to read the numbers and LBound was the lower array to change the number to the text in this array.

Because I was using only one array with text I didn't think I needed that line of code you added. This website is a great source of knowledge, Thanks for being a part of it. Best Wishes.

Now it's me very confused. Do you mind showing how your data is when it "gets here"; maybe a couple of rows with XL2BB.
By the way, are you sure that what you need isn't just a couple of formulas ? with LEFT or RIGHT or MID string.
