    Referencing old numers to new

    How do I reference and update a group of cells, say old account numbers that are to be covered under a new account number? I get 50 or 100 old account numbers on an xls. sheet from UPS that I neeed to update easily to one new account number. Is there a way I can automatically reference or link the old numbers to the one new account number that covers it?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Probably VBA but if you want a formula approach,
    in sheet2 Col A has old num, Col B has new numbers

    in sheet1, your working sheet, your numbers are in Column D (for example) and in an open column (let's say N) starting in first row of data (let's say 2)

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D2, Sheet2!$A$1:$B$100,2, FALSE), D2)
    Copy that all the way down.
    Then copy and Paste special > Values into Column D.

    My 2?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
