Here's what I can't figure out how to do, I have two lists of checks, each
formatted with first column check number and second column check amount:
CK# Amount CK# Amount
101 525.35 104 425.50
102 225.45 101 525.35
103 400.00 105 115.00
104 425.50 102 225.45
105 115.00 103 400.00

I've searched for a worksheet function that will look at a check number in
the first list, search for it in the second list, and if found, return the
check amount value to a cell.
Grateful for any help.
