Converting State Names to State Abbreviations
Hi!
You'd need to create a 2 column table and then use a lookup formula. In say, H1:H50 list the FULL state names. In I1:I50 list the abbreviation of the corresponding state. Then: Assume your list of full names is in A1:A10. Enter this formula in B1 and copy down to B10: =IF(A1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,H$1:I$50,2,0)) Biff "aznate" wrote in message ...
