    Lightbulb Help with replacing values.

    I have a list of text values each have a category number i.e

    Col1 || Col2
    1508 || John Smith
    1508 || Jane Doe
    1509 || John Doe
    1509 || Jane Smith
    1510 || Robert Smith

    And another two columns relating the category number i.e.

    Col1 || Col2
    1508 || Solicitors
    1509 || Teachers
    1510 || Drivers

    I have 30,000 names and 1500 categories.

    I need my sheet to end up like this:

    Col1 || Col2
    Solicitors || John Smith
    Teachers || John Doe

    So I need to search i.e "1508" and replace it with the text associated with it.

    I know it can be done with search>replace all but I have 1500 categories... I need something automatic!

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Thanks in advance!
