I am making a telephone bill spreadsheet. I have the look the way I want it,
easy for employees to read. The thing is that with well over 150 employees, I
don't like to have to find ext and names every time I do this sheet. What I
would like to do, since the extention is there, do something like "if ext # =
106, name = Rose" for all of the employees. This way I can code it once and
reuse it, only having to modify new people. How do I do this?

Do you have another Sheet or workbook that lists the persons name and
extension? If so you could use the VLOOKUP function to use the ext number on
your phone bill to look up the persons name on the other sheet.

Here are my collumns:
Page: Phone Bill
Name:A16-A393
AcctCode:B16-B393
Page: Extentions
Name:A1-A105
AcctCode:B1-B105

I want to use Phone Bill AcctCode to find Extention AcctCode and return
Extention Name to Phone Bill Name
