Is there a way to translate numbers, icons and letter into a text format?
Hi,
I'm currently trying to make a somewhat automatic Layer maker in excel.
I'm creating layers in AUTOCAD and i want a register for them in excel where i can sort them and create a new one or find a old one.
I'm using 11 symbols between letters, numbers and "-".
What i would like is for me to be able to make the program recognize some of the letters and automatically write the full meaning of them in a another cell.
I would like for the yellow field on the right to read the yellow field on the left and translate the letter to a short phrase or a word. Same for blue, green might be allot of work or very difficult but at least yellow and blue.
(in this example every post is the same but I will add different types of fields and same goes for status)
Thanks in advance
Alexander

Alexander_Markera You could add the codes to the list of AutoCorrect options, as shown in the picture below.
With this example, anytime you type T, Excel replaces it with Trafik- och vägprojektor
