Help w/Match or Lookup

[Spike9458]

Hi All,

I have a workbook with a list of 4 digit codes as well as other
data, and another workbook with a list of 4 digit numbers in one
column and a name in the next column.

How do I set it up so that the name that appears in the second
workbook appears in a column in the first workbook, matched up with
the 4 digit code?

It looks something like this:

A B C D E
Name ID ID Company
Joe Smith 1234 1000 Humpty Dumpty
Jane Jones 1003 1001 Target
John Doe 1000 1002 Kohl's
Smitty 1001 1003 Burger King

In this example I want the company name in Column E to appear next
to the corresponding ID, for example make Humpty Dumpty appear in
column C next to John Doe 1000.

My list in column E goes from 1000 to 1400, with a unique name with
each. Column A has over 4500 with just the 4 digit ID, and I'm trying
to match it up to the company name.

Thanks to anybody that understands my question and can help!

in C2, place the formula below and then paste down as needed:
=VLOOKUP(B2,D:E,2,FALSE)

JW,

Thanks! It works just as slick as warm goose $$it.
