I have a system where I enter a code in one cell and in the next cell the corresponding text appears, using a lookup table.

Cell 1: I put "W1" Cell 2: "Make sure that both your opening and ending are interesting and engaging." appears automatically.

Of course, I can't then edit the text. If I try, I find I'm editing the lookup formula.

What I'm really trying to do: I'm a teacher, the codes are target codes and the text is the actual advice to the pupil. We have a standard system of targets, but we tend to customise the text in different ways according to the pupil.

Am I doing this the most sensible way? Is there a workaround?

Many thanks.

Perhaps it's not you're looking for, but try the following:

  1. Put all grades in the column 1 (corresponds to your cell 1).
  2. Apply Lookup formula and get default answers - this for the column 2.
  3. Now copy entire column 2 and paste special it as values to the same place.

After the above you'll get default grades as TEXT ready for your editing.

Please respond in comments in case you have some more not obvious (from the initial request) limitations.

This requires, as far as I understand it, VBA. Thanks to those below for helping me figure that out.
