    Convert text to text?

    I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet that will recognize ticker symbols in one cell and convert them to the name of the fund or stock in another cell. For instance, if I were to enter one of the following ticker symbols in C4:

    AMPFX
    GFAFX
    CLGAX
    WMEAX
    WLGAX
    JENSX
    MFOCX
    TRBCX

    Could they be converted to the following corresponding names in B4:

    Amer Funds Amcap F
    Amer Funds Grth Fund F
    Calvert Large Cap Gr A
    Ivy Cap Appreciation A
    Ivy Large Cap Growth A
    Jensen J
    Marsico Focus
    T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth

    In addition to converting those symbols to those names, could it also leave B4 blank if I didn't enter any symbol into C4? And if I entered a symbol that wasn't listed above, could it leave B4 blank? Is this possible?

    I can see how this request may not be totally clear, if it is to hard to understand I'll try explaining it a different way. Below, if one of the symbols (that are located on the left side of the =) is entered into cell C4, can they be converted into the appropriate name (which is located on the right side of the =) into cell B4?

    AMPFX = Amer Funds Amcap F
    GFAFX = Amer Funds Grth Fund F
    CLGAX = Calvert Large Cap Gr A
    WMEAX = Ivy Cap Appreciation A
    WLGAX = Ivy Large Cap Growth A
    JENSX = Jensen J
    MFOCX = Marsico Focus
    TRBCX = T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth
