Convert information in a cell into words
- Dec 13, 2018
OK, So first off my apologies as I didn't realize I could actually download what you posted (Thought it was a screenshot, just joined the message board yesterday!), I am an idiot and probably shouldn't have been trying to help anyone yesterday. Very sorry.
Use this in G1, I tested it and it seems to work for me:
=VLOOKUP(IF(LEN(F1)>3,RIGHT(F1,3),(IF(LEN(F1)=2,"0"&F1,F1))),Color!A:B,2,FALSE)
Had to get a little more complicated with the formula as it looks like sometime you get the paint codes as 4 digit codes with an extra leading 0 and sometimes a 2 digit code with a 0 dropped off the front (In relation to the all the codes being 3 digits codes on your sheet "Color"). This is essentially the same formula I sent before but I added: If the paint code we want to look up is 4 digits, remove the first digit, If it's 2 digits add a "0" to the front, thereby always ending up with a 3 digit code to lookup on your other sheet.
Do you have a list of all of the codes and color names that you reference then?
Is the color code in cell by itself?
