I'm desperate to find a solution to my tedious work. So, each day i will go through hundreds of records and change product names.
For example,
1. Blue Carpet - S
2. Small Carpet - Blue
3. 100 x 20 Carpet - Blue
4. Blue Small Carpet
For all 4 names above, i will change the name to (Small Carpet - Blue). And this is only for 1 product. There are hundreds more products to go.
I was wondering if there is a way to "teach" Excel to identify these names and input (Small Carpet - Blue) to the cell on the right without manually typing.
You can build a table for it, where the left column has the 'faulty' names and the right column has the 'correct' names. Then use the VLOOKUP formula to pull the 'correct' names from the table.
Example:
Sheet2 Column A Blue Carpet - S
Small Carpet - Blue
100 x 20 Carpet - Blue
Blue Small Carpet
Sheet2
Column B Small Carpet - Blue
Small Carpet - Blue
Small Carpet - Blue
Small Carpet - Blue
Sheet1
Column A
Blue Carpet - S
Small Carpet - Blue
100 x 20 Carpet - Blue
Blue Small Carpet
Sheet1
Column B
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$4,2,0)
Drag formula down
