Could you either give me an example of how to use VLOOKUP to convert from
number to string, or could you show me the steps toward writing simple VBA
to be used within Excel 2000 (I don't have the O'Reilly book on me I'm
afraid).

Thanx
Phil

I hate to be this way, but your friend must be doing something wrong.  I
just did a mockup in Excel 97 (we're still in the dark ages here) and it
worked fine going from string to number.

If you're going to go the VBA route, there is a "Switch Case" construct,
instead of using a bunch of if-elses.

Thanx, however, my friend is having problems with the VLOOKUP insofar as
that it will convert from number to string but not from string to number.

I am not sure how to help him rather than writing a super-complex IF
statement.

Oh, BTW, I should mention that I did that stuff in Gnumeric, not
Excel, so my apologies if the order of parameters is different.  Tell
your friend just to look up Excel's vlookup function -- it's real
similar, if not exactly the same.
