You want Vlookup, as in:

B9: =vlookup(b1,'Symbol Tick'!H:I,2,false)

I wasn't shure where this fit. Is it programming or Macro or what - I
obviously don't know.

Okay here goes -

On worksheet 'Main' I have a cell where I input a value, cell B1. This
value would be something like the letters 'CT'. This value corresponds
to a line entry on another worksheet called 'Symbol Tick'. On 'Symbol
Tick' CT is listed along with about 50 others. In cell H10, which is to
the right of 'CT' on 'Symbol Tick' is the value $5.00. If I enter the
value 'CT' into cell B1 on the 'Main' worksheet I want another cell on
worksheet 'Main', cell B9, to automatically populate with the value
associated with the entry from worksheet 'Symbol Tick', which would be
$5.00 (Cell H10).

If I input any other value into cell B1 that is listed on 'Symbol Tick'
I want the appropriate value to automatically be inserted into cell B9
on worksheet 'Main'.

Clear as Mud??
