hi!

why don't you try

=index(sheet2!A1:A10,match(c1,sheet2!B1:B10,0))

where c1 houses your lookup value?

My new spreadsheet #@ has just numbers.

A B
1103
1105
1106

How do I do a VLOOK UP to say: look for the numberA1from Sheet #2
in
Sheet
#1 and if it has the word LIAB in Column A then take the
corresponding
cell
value in sheet #1 column C and put it into column B of Sheet #2
