Excel Find Replace Macro

You can achieve this with a formula using the MATCH and INDEX functions.

I have attached a new copy of your example workbook with a new sheet called 'DriverMatch'. This has the find and replace or 'matching' table on it.

The first column cells are: A2 to A6 (use absolute reference so $A$2:$A$6)
The (replacement) column cells are: B2 to B6

=INDEX(DriverMatch!$B$2:$B$6,MATCH(Sheet1!B3,DriverMatch!$A$2:$A$6,0),1)

The MATCH function find the matching driver number ROW.
Then the INDEX function find the correct replacement based on the ROW.

You will need to populate the table in DriverMatch, then change the 6 in the formula to whatever is the last row of the lookup table.

MATCH can be used where VLOOKUP can't because a precise match is required and the list doesn't need to be sorted.

Will your Driver numbers be in numerical order for the equivalent number as they are in the example?

If so you could use a slightly simpler formula using the MATCH function; as Peter mentions the MATCH function returns the row number of the table in which it finds the matching value.

Therefore if your table is sorted in numerical order by the original driver number, the resulting replacement can be calculated, using Peter's suggestion of a MATCHing table, as follows, :

="Driver "&MATCH($B3,DriverMatch!$A$2:$A$6,0)

The Matching table for this would then be a single list sorted in order.

Also if you wanted to put some sort of numbering convention on this you could add a TEXT function:

="Driver "&TEXT(MATCH($B3,DriverMatch!$A$2:$A$6,0),"000")

This will convert the resulting driver number to 3 digits.

Thank you guys.
