    Importing table from Access into Excel- want the text value, not the ID number

    Hey guys, I hope this is the right spot to ask this question.

    I'm in the process of importing an Access table into Excel. Although that was easy as pie, I'm hoping someone will be able to guide me through converting the numerical values given, into the actual text value. For example - in the attached file under column M, you'll see Customers 14, 6, 3, ect., when I need to be seeing "Kathy Turner", "CKL Water", "CKL Fleet".

    I'm comfortable with using vlookups, so after I get this little glitch figured out, it should be smooth sailing *fingers crossed*.

    Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi MMolloy

    What you have provided is 2 layouts of the same data, neither of which has the customer names.

    Presumably the access database does have the names but the easy as pie bit does not seem to have brought the names into Excel. I think that we need more information as to how you got to where you did in Excel and see if we can help you from there.

    Regards
    Alastair

    Are the names in another table that is linked to the table you are importing to Excel?
