    Change number to word when pasted into a cell

    Hi all,

    Is there a way to automatically change a number to a work when its placed into a cell from an array. There's a possibility that the cell it's pasting 'from' contains one or the other and I would like it to always be a word when pasted.

    i.e.

    If 1 is copied then paste A
    If 2 is copied then Paste B
    If C is copied then paste C

    I do have a column of all the possible numbers and a column for their corresponding word.

    Hope that makes sense

    Thanks

    Can you post a sample showing beginning, and desired results? Include "I do have a column of all the possible numbers and a column for their corresponding word."

    Hi John,

    It wont let me upload the Excel book for some reason so I've had to screen shot an example of both pages.

    Hopefully that makes sense of what I want from my desired outcome?

    Thanks
