Easy enough concept, but I have no idea where to start when it comes to creating a UDF, which is the only thing I can find any mention of. I have a column that populates on source sheets with either a 1 or 2. I want to do something so that all of the “1’s” shows as one text entry(“AA” for example) and all “2’s” show as a different entry(say “BB”). Is this possible without a UDF; and if not then is there any advice on where to start?

    You can use custom formatting for this. Right-click the column in question and choose “Format Cells.” In the dialog, choose “Custom” and in the box at the top enter:

    [=1]"AA";[=2]"BB";General
    

    This assumes that the “1” or “2” is the sole content of the cell. Any other number or text will display in the General format.
