Replace data from one column with data in another

Hey everybody

I will try keep this short and sweet...

As you should be able to see in the attachment I have 3 columns

The first column is the data I wont to search and replace.

What I want it to do is for every value in A, loop through B and if it finds the Value in A matches that of B then replace the value in A with the value that is in C.

So basically B is like a reference column.

I hope this makes sense. My algorythm is something like this I guess.

There was only one match that I could see. It checks column a against B, if they match it replaces a with c

It checks each cell in A, but only works with a cell if there is a value In B. The example only has four cells that have data in a & b. Can you add a sheet that shows your expected results?
