=LOOKUP(Sheet1!F2,{"FL01","FL12","FL21","FL31","FL34"},{"ORLANDO PICKLIST","TAMPA PICKLIST","JAX PICKLIST","NAPLES PICKLIST","MIAMI PICKLIST"})

Also the answer to be in sheet2 B2 center font size 24 .

By recording it

you will get something like this:

Option Explicit

Sub Macro3()
'
' Macro3 Macro
'

'
    Selection.FormulaArray = _
        "=LOOKUP(Sheet1!RC[4],{""FL01"";""FL12"";""FL21"";""FL31"";""FL34""},{""ORLANDO PICKLIST"";""TAMPA PICKLIST"";""JAX PICKLIST"";""NAPLES PICKLIST"";""MIAMI PICKLIST""})"
    With Selection.Font
        .Name = "Calibri"
        .Size = 24
    End With
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlGeneral
    End With
End Sub

Where selection is which cell I selected when I started recording (" B2 "). From here you can play around with the code. You will get a feeling for how Excel "Translate" your formulas and your format options into code.

By edit the selection part ( Selection. ) we can be more explicit which worksheet and which range we want to apply the new code into...

Sub Macro3_Changes()
'
' Macro3 Macro
'

'
    Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B2").FormulaArray = _
        "=LOOKUP(Sheet1!RC[4],{""FL01"";""FL12"";""FL21"";""FL31"";""FL34""},{""ORLANDO PICKLIST"";""TAMPA PICKLIST"";""JAX PICKLIST"";""NAPLES PICKLIST"";""MIAMI PICKLIST""})"
    With Selection.Font
        .Name = "Calibri"
        .Size = 24
    End With
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlGeneral
    End With
End Sub

Here is some interesting note, I assume that you had an Array formula. I enter your formula with Ctrl + Shift + Enter. The macro records that too and translate it as FormulaArray . If I have just enter the formula it would have been FormulaR1C1 which is a relative formula from the section you selected.
