    Excel 2010 Convert Formulas to Corresponding Text Based on ID

    I will get right to it. I have an excel file with 2 sheets. Sheet 1 has a column that contains formulas (ie (18299*11151)/20067 ) Those numbers are IDs referencing questions stored in Sheet 2. What I would like to do is find a way to look up those questions and place them into the formula instead of the ID numbers.

    Can someone please help

    The numbers in the formula on Sheet 1 refer to the qlibid column on sheet 2. What I need to do is be able to lookup those qlibid ids and create a text formula instead of and ID based formula. I hope this clears it up a bit

    I appreciate you taking the time to respond. However, the text to column does not work since the spacing in the formulas are not all the same
