    Displaying "group" type in cell, based on range

    I'm trying to create a column which, when the initials of a staff member are entered in another column - the group which I have assigned to that staff member to is displayed automatically.

    Eg.

    AW, TM, BJ are Managers
    BR, TE, FF, MJ are Developers
    TS, KK, LI are Staff

    When those initials are added to column A, I'd like column B to populate with their specific group.

    I think this is really easy but I can't figure it out!

    Many thanks,

    A. Walloper

    Put this in B2 of Sheet1:

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Lookup!$A$2:$B$11,2,0),"")

    then copy down as required.

    Hope this helps.
