Thank you for responding. Just got home... First, I am not an Excel expert. So, I am not sure what I can and cannot do.
What I was trying to do is create a list that allows for words in the first part, and abbreviations in second part for line items noted.
format: line1, line2, line3 -...
I a trying to create a list of words, then output an abbreviated word, based on the word chosen from the list.
Reason: I have a 30 character limitation to create a title (description) with.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Again for your time and effort.
