    Formula to Display Several Strings of Text in a Cell

    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.

    =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)
