Lookup Formula Syntax for Name Replacement
To achieve this, you can use the VLOOKUP function or the INDEX and MATCH combination in Excel. Assuming your data is in Sheet1 and you want to replace names in Sheet2, here's an example using VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(A2, Sheet1!A:B, 2, FALSE)
This formula assumes that the names in Sheet1 are in column A, and the corresponding aliases are in column B. Drag this formula down in the column where you want to replace names, and it will replace each name with the corresponding alias.
If you prefer to use INDEX and MATCH, the formula would look like this:
=INDEX(Sheet1!B:B, MATCH(A2, Sheet1!A:A, 0))
Again, replace the sheet and column references as per your actual data.
Just ensure that the reference ranges and sheets match your actual data structure.
