Fill up a cell based from another cell using a macro in an excel report

It happens that in my reports I need to fill up a specific word for the cells of a column based on the specific value of another cell from another column. For instance, in the column A, each cell contains a server name, and in the column P, the corresponding status. Using this macro, I want that if a server name is “winserver”, I want the status to be “obsolete”.
