If statment help needed

[Nydia]

OK, I hope that I can explain this properly.

I have an excel workbook with 2 worksheets. The purpose of this worksheet
is to keep track of labels that I make for various people. So the first
sheet has label information and the second sheet has label specification (for
ex. a legal folder will use an avery 5161 label. What I am hoping to do is
create an if statement. One column in worksheet 1 is file type. The choices
are legal, letter, redwell. I want an if statement so that when the file
type is entered, it will automatically look into spreadsheet 2 and give what
label should be used. Makes sense? I hope so.

If the File name is typed on cell c1 for example:
on d1 you can have a formula similar to this
=vlookup(c1,sheet2!A1:B25,2,False)
This assumes that you have the File Name in Column A on sheet2 and in Column
B you have the Avery Label Code. Change the Range reference to suit your
needs.
