Excel Help Please

Can I ask for some help with Excel please?!
I am trying to set up a rule for the following: If I enter certain text in one column, I wish for it to automatically copy into another column.
Does that make sense?! I can do it in other columns, but not something I have tried in Excel before.
Thanks in advance!

in the column you wish to copy to you can put =cell eg =a1 would return whatever was in cell a1.The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :cool:0

If you only want text (no numbers) use (eg) IF(ISTEXT(A1),A1,"") (in cell B1)0
