Hi Shanj69,
Your example shows a pattern, column B shows the first letter of the text in column A. This can be achieved by using the following formula:
=LEFT(A2,1)
Drag the formula down for the rest of the cells.
If this is not on purpose, then you can use a nested IF formula like:
=IF(A2="Apple","A",IF(A2="Banana","B",""))
Or add to this code:

Or add to this code:
Sub RunMe()
For Each cell In Range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
If cell.Value = "Apple" Then cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "A"
If cell.Value = "Banana" Then cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "B"
Next cell
End Sub
Best regards,
