Default Help with COMPARE??? IF??? VLOOKUP??? Don't know which to use

Try this in B1 of Sheet2:

=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,0)

If you have the name "Server1" (not "Sever1") in column A of Sheet2,
this will return the corresponding value from column B, but if there
is no match you will get the #N/A error.

You can copy the formula to B2 if you need to.

Hope this helps.

I have two worksheets.

Worksheet 1
In column A1, I have the value SERVER1
In column A2, I have the value SERVER2

WORKSHEET2
Somewhere in column A, I have the value Sever1
Somewhere in column A, I have the value Server2

In column B I have a number 8.1.1 that coincides with the server name in
column A
(Server2 value might be 8.2)

I want to take the value located in coulmn B that associated with Server 1
(wherever it might be in column A)

and put it in cell B1 in Worksheet 1.
