Here is a very small part of the Data that I get from the Database. Column "L" contains the County or City numbers. To make this usable for me I have to delete a bunch of columns of the information that I do not need. The the Sub for County() is called from my code to change the numbers into the corresponding County Name or City Name. Then I make several Sheets from the data. One of the sheets is for me to load into google maps to show me where the structures are. I did not include all of the columns in this example, but it does have the coordinates for the structures. Another sheet is added to build a report document to use in the field to enter data about the structure. and a third sheet is used to build a different form to do the actual inspection of the structure.

Step 1 - Remove all columns I do not need on any of the three sheets from the BIG Dataset that I get.
Step 2 - Create sheet for map and add all data from first sheet and then remove the columns not needed on the Map sheet, and change column names and a bunch of other stuff.
Step 3 - Build the sheet for inputting data into a PDF form, so I have to change a bunch headings, and all kinds of other stuff to talk to the PDF form, its a long process.

The PDF form I designed has the City in one box and if its a County it goes into a different box. this is why I have to separate the City from the County using the Sub City(). There are more counties than cities that I work in so the Counties will stay in column "C" and I just move the Cities over to a new column calle cities.

A formula like LEFT(), MID(), or RIGHT() would not work on the because as you can see it originally comes in as just a City Number or County Number.

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
I'm still confused. This is what I understood (using your words in post #11):
- Column "L" contains the County or City numbers.
- Sub County() changes the numbers into the corresponding County Name or City Name.
- I have to separate the City from the County using the Sub City() so the Counties will stay in column "L" and moves the Cities over to a new column called Cities.
Is this what is supposed to happen ?

Yes, and that is exactly what is happening now that I am using the code - If Not IsError(Application.Match(Range("C" & n).Value, City, 0)) Then - or the code you provided it does the same thing. This reads the names of the cities from the array and if it matches a city name then it moves the city name over to the cities column. and just leaves the County names in the county column.

Here is the final result. Of course this is just a very small part of the final table. Maybe the confusion comes from the first array is just named County but all of the numbers are City numbers and County numbers combined in the same column. I guess I could have named the first array that converts the numbers into City and County Names to CityCountyNum and CityCountyName because they are really all combined in the table as just numbers. But I needed to move just the City names from that column to the City Column for use in something else.
