    Converting reference numbers to a title

    I have exported a dataset with references numbers and I want to convert those reference numbers into the titles they refer to. I have a separate sheet that matches the reference number to the title and would normally use a LOOKUP function [=LOOKUP(A2,Key::Table 1::A,Title)] but, in this instance, I have multiple reference numbers in a cell separated by commas. How can I get the function to loopup multiple numbers from the same cell?

    I am new to excel and I apologise if this is a basic question.

    Thank you!

    hi and welcome to the forum

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.
