Looking for information on creating a formula in excel

Looking to create a formula for the following. Sheet 1 column a have a list
of names a1-a15. On sheet 2 have a list on names a1-a15 with list of numbers
in c1-c15. If names from sheet 2 same as anyone on sheet one than the
corresponding number will be posted. ie: on sheet one name george appears.
on sheet two the name george in a1 and bill in a2 are listed. want to search
that is george is found than the corresponding number will be posted on sheet
3. Hope someone can make sense of this

George

Look in Excel help at the Vlookup worksheet function.

Entries of this function would be on Sheet 3
