Populating columnB based on value of columnA with a 1:1 relationship from array

[StephRinder]

To simplify, in my project plan I have a Column A "Activity", ColumnB "Function Title" and a column C "Resource Name" in sheet 1. I have a table in sheet 2 that shows the 1:1 relationship between the function title and the resource name. Say "Project Manager" = "Joe Smith", "Delivery Enablement Lead" = "Ken Jackson", etc...

In my sheet 1 Project Plan, I need to populate column C "Resource name" based on the value of "column B".

What's the easiest way to achieve this? Thanks for your help!!!

Have you tried vlookup? =VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$7,2,0) and drag it down
