IF Macro, insert text

There are numerous values and descriptions, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

HI,

On Sheet2 setup in column A the items and in column B their corresponding values

then in Sheet1, in A2 put

=VLookup(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,False)

It is normal to do this across a row (A1 B1 etc) rather than down a column (A1 A2 etc) but its your choice.
