Excel convert numbers to text with a formula
Hello I am new to this forum, I need to make a list in which I can write for example 1=Olives 2=Bread, I want just to write the number and Excel will type an item instead, is that possible ? thanks ...
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,$H$4:$I$27,2,FALSE),"")Maybe like in this example. You can enter a number (which occurs in column H) in column B and the formula returns the corresponding text in column C.

Hi OliverScheurich, thant is exactly what I need so what should the formula says? for example can you make me an example of number 1 corresponding text olives
- Yeahhh OliverScheurich thank you very much it worked perfectly great solution, thanks a lot
enter number return number
1 olives
2 green and black olives You can replace "item1" (cell I4 in the example) by "olives". If you then enter 1 in column B the formula returns "olives" in column C. All texts in column I can be changed as required.
