I have 2 worksheets, W1 has a unique id that I need to place on W2, if the
names match.

If name matches from W1, then place Unique ID on W2


Worksheet 1 - 2 columns

Unique Id Name
100 Little
200 Smith
201 Blue
303 Yellow

Worksheet 2 - 2 columns - Need to display Id

Name ID
Little
Yellow
Blue
Smith
 
On worksheet 2, cell b2:

=INDEX('Worksheet 1'!A:A,MATCH(A2,'Worksheet 1'!B:B,0))

With error trapping:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,'Worksheet 1'!B:B,0)),INDEX('Worksheet
1'!A:A,MATCH(A2,'Worksheet 1'!B:B,0)),"")
 
One other way, try this

Assuming your name start in A2 of Sheet 2, place this formula in B2 and copy
down
Take note that this formula requires that you sort your source data
ascending for it
to work.

=LOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$5,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5)

Adjust the range to suit yours.

I need to lookup two values in Sheet 1, if they match Sheet 2 then return

Can you help. Thanks
 
Hi,

Try this array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

=index(sheet1!$A$2:$C$50,match(1,(sheet1!$A$2:$A$50=A2)*(sheet1!$B$2:$B$50=B2),0),3)

A2 has the customer name on sheet2
B2 has the company name on sheet2
