    Question Match 2 cells to produce a third value

    Hi,

    I have 2 sheets of data one for data the second for input and calculations.


    SHEET 1 (Data)
    HEADINGS - FROM / NUMBER
    A / 81
    C / 99
    E / 01

    SHEET 2 (Input & Calculations)HEADINGS - FROM / TO / FROM val / TO val

    I want to be able to stick "A" in Col1 (FROM) and the number 81 to automatically appear in Col3 (FROM Val)


    I am unabel to use LOOKUP as my Pocket PC doesen't recognise it.. VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are ok though, I just can't seem to get them to work for me

    =Vlookup(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$B$100,2)

    is the same as =Lookup(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$B$100)

    Both look up item in A1 within sorted list $A$1:$A$100 and return from B1:B100
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
