Add pre-defined text to a cell based on input from a different cell

  • I want to have VBA code add specific words to a cell (B2), based on a string of letters in a different cell (A1)...


    As an example I have 10 buildings, each represented by a string of letters. In cell A1, I want to input the building designation (ie: "bnumber3".. but each building number has a different text string), and then I want a pre-defined text string to populate cell B2... something like "3 bedroom and 3 garages".


    There is already some vba in the file, but not performing the functionality mentioned above.


    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response...I thought I had the file working OK for awhile, but have managed to ruin the original macro. Will rebuild the sheet and see where I stand after that.


    Thanks

  • I'm not sure what I have done , but now I am getting the following error code:


    Microsoft Visual Basic

    Run Time Error '1004"

    Unable to get the Characters property of the Range class"


    I opened an earlier version of the file, but now get the same error for it as well.


    Can someone steer me to the error resolution?


    Thanks
