    reversing contents of a cell

    EXAMPLE: Let's say an individual chooses "option A" - Option A has several cells that have the text LH (left hand) is inserted in them. However, if they now choose "option B" those same cells need to change (or reverse) to RH (right hand). How do I accomplish this?

    Probably (at least for me) it is not so obvuious what (or exactly how) you want to accomplish. Ist this option A/B an option buttn or value of a cell, Are LH/RH values just written in a cell by user? or results of some formulas?
    So as one of our http://www.excelforum.com/forum-rule...rum-rules.html say:
    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    It can be done with VLookup
    Notice my main language is not English.

    Guessing you want the following result

    A1 enter either Option A or Option B
    B1 =IF(A1="Option A","LH","RH")
