Hi. I need a function to do this for me.

If I enter a number in Cell A1, say 129, I want cell B1 to Display the name that corresponds to that employee number. So if A1 is 129, I need B1 to Display Jon Smith. If A2 is 130, then B2 should display Joanna Smith. Etc, etc.

Can anyone provide an easy solution to this for me?

Thanks

You may use Vlookup() function, but you need to define those lookup value in another sheet or another column:
let say your lookup value is in column A and the result value is in Column B, then your lookup range let say Sheet2!A1:B10, to use the formula:
in Sheet1
column
A1 B1
120 =Vlookup(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$10,2,False)

Thank you so much. I already had a file with all the employee numbers with their names right beside it! This was exactly what I needed.
