    Post Fill in Names

    Hi All!

    I am trying to create or use a formula for the below scenario.

    On an excel workbook, I have two sheets. Each have various identifiers or entity numbers. The first sheet is the formal sheet that is supposed to pair the entity numbers to employee names. The entity numbers are in ascending order. The employee names are blank.The second sheet has the matching numbers and corresponding employees. My task is to create a formula or function that matches the entity and fills in the corresponding name. For example, if I am needing to find out who works 118 site, I will pull 118 from sheet two and have the name appear next to the number in the first sheet.

    Hi -

    Copy and paste this formula to Cell B4 on Sheet 1. Then copy down:

    =VLOOKUP(A4,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$176,2,0)

    Hope this helps.

    It didn't work possibly due to a few columns before it. I can try to delete them, work the formula, copy and paste, and add the columns back that are prior
