    state abbreviations to regular state names

    Hello. Is there any way to quickly change state abbreviations (e.g. AK = Arkansas, AL= Alabama) in excel with a formula?

    You could use Index/Match or Vlookup. I did both in this example.

    ****Disclaimer: I pulled the state/abbreviation list off the internet and did not verify its accuracy****
