Thread: Encoding a Sequence of Letters

I AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE COMMAND "Use the VLOOKUP and MID functions as shown in the following formula:
=VLOOKUP(MID(D2,1,1),$A$2:$B$7,2,FALSE)&" "&VLOOKUP(MID(D2,2,1),$A$2:$B$7,2,FALSE)&" "&VLOOKUP(MID(D2,3,1),$A$2:$B$7,2,FALSE)". WOULD U HELP ME PLZ.

u can do this command by using lookup wizard in the tools menu, if ur look up wizard is not installed go to the add-ins and then u can install it.

Problem:

Column A contains a series of letters, column B contains matching codes for each letter.
We want to create new strings composed of the codes matching each of the letter strings shown in column D.

Solution:

Use the VLOOKUP and MID functions as shown in the following formula:
=VLOOKUP(MID(D2,1,1),$A$2:$B$7,2,FALSE)&\" \"&VLOOKUP(MID(D2,2,1),$A$2:$B$7,2,FALSE)&\" \"&VLOOKUP(MID(D2,3,1),$A$2:$B$7,2,FALSE)
