You are mixing VBA inside your Excel formula. The formula puts in vlookup
literally how you have written it.

A. Excel doesn't know what WSdata.Range(A:B) is - that is you #Name error
you should have Sheet42!A:B instead.
B. You left out the first argument to vlookup.

Sub MergeClubMemb()

Dim WSmain As Worksheet
Dim WSdata As Worksheet

Set WSmain = Sheet40 ' all clubs, id in col B
Set WSdata = Sheet42 ' some clubs with member data, id in col A,
data
in B

With WSmain.Range("H2:H500")
.Formula = "=Vlookup(WSdata.Range(A:B),2,False)"
.Formula = .Value
End With

End Sub

Use the Vlookup worksheet function in column C of Sheet2. You can
replace
the formula with its results after.

With worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C2:C500")
.Formula = "=Vlookup(A2,Sheet1!A:B,2,False)"
.formula = .Value
End With
