    numerical value to be translated into a word

    I have Cell B1 = 6 on a worksheet named DOC. On Cell B3 of worksheet Week 1 it has "Celina". Is there a way that if Cell B1 in DOC has number 6, Cell B3 on Week 1 will automatically become Celina.

    All worksheets are in the same workbook

    Likewise if Cell B1 ever has any of the following numbers, cell B3 in Week 1 will display the corresponding alaphnumerics.

    1 = Troy
    2 = Piqua
    3 = Urbana
    4 = Grnvl
    6 = Celina

    Thank You

    Sure. If you already have a small table set up as you have shown in your post, then where ever you want the answer to be, use =vlookup(B1,$J$1:$K$6,2,0)

    If you dont hjave a table lik ethat already set up, then set it up - I used J1:K6, adjust as needed

    You could use...

    =LOOKUP(Doc!B1,{1,2,3,4,6},{"Troy","Piqua","Urbana","Grnvl","Celina"})
    HTH
