Hi Guys

I need a function or a formula which can do the following......

I have two worksheets.

One worksheet has a list of names in a set order that can't b
changed.

The other worksheet has the same list of names in alpabetical orde
with a value next to the name in a seperate column.

I need to grab the value from the second sheet and insert it next t
the same name in the first sheet..

I hope that made sense

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It sounds like you can use VLOOKUP()

Something like:

=VLOOKUP(NameInSheet1,ArrayOfNamesAndValuesOnSheet2,2,False)

So maybe like:

=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$10,2,FALSE)

And copy down next to your list of names on Sheet1
