Looking up data from another sheet

A

aidoneus

Sorry if this has an easy answer, but I've been wracking my brain trying
to figure out how to do this and have thusfar come up empty.

I've got a workbook that on the first sheet takes ID number data in
from a card reader, formats it, and time-stamps it (it's to keep track
of the users of a supply area).

On the second sheet (same book), I've got a listing of ID numbers,
names, and departments for all the users of this room (there are over
1000).

What I'm trying to do is have a cell on the first sheet look up the
name associated with an ID number and put that information in a cell,
and do the same for department.

Something like this:

Sheet one contains:
- ID Number (which is input from the card reader)
- Time In

Sheet two contains:
- ID Number
- Name
- Department

I'd like those last two fields to propagate to the first sheet based
upon the ID number input.

Any idea how I can do this? Thanks!
