Formula to Display Several Strings of Text in a Cell

[trav]

Hello All,

I am working with the following data:

A1: NYC-DEN-SEA

B1: NYC
B2: DEN
B3: SEA

C1: New York
C2: Denver
C3: Seattle

How can I make A2 to display "New York-Denver-Seattle ?

Thank you for helping.

In A2



=VLOOKUP(LEFT(A1,3),$B:$C,2,FALSE)&"-"&VLOOKUP(MID(A1,5,3),$B:$C,2,FALSE)&"-"&VLOOKUP(RIGHT(A1,3),$B:$C,2,FALSE)
