Hi Mantha,

Look at vLookup in Excel help.

Even better, see debra Dalgleish's tutorial at:

Hi

On Sheet2, set up a table of Stock numbers and Names starting in A2
A B
Stock No. Name
1541 Crisps
1843 Coca Cola etc.

Then on Sheet1 in cell B1
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$100,2,0)

Change the value of 100 in the above formula to include the last row of data
you have entered in your table on Sheet2.
