    autofill with adjacent cell reference

    I have a large set of data in column B with multiple duplicates and I am in the middle of entering data into column A.

    I would like to find a way that once I enter the data into column A all other "A" fields adjacent to the same B fields will auto populate.

    I do not have a data set to reference for column A as I am finding the data in another software and cannot export it to excel.


    Example:
    Colum A Column B
    ABC 123858
    555658
    123585

    I would like that column A3 auto fill to abc because B1 and B3 are the exact same.

    This would require VBA.
    Right click on the sheet tab and "View Code" Then paste this in (assumes you are typing into Column A and looking in B for matches)
