Hi

In cell B1 of the first sheet enter
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,0)
Hover over the bottom left corner of cell B1 till you see the fill handle (a
small solid black cross)>Double click
This will fill the formula down column B for as far as data extends in
column A.

If you want, you can then copy the whole of column B>place cursor in
A1>Paste Special>Values.
This will replace the letters in column A with their numeric values.
Column B can then be deleted.
