Which is precisely what the formula does. An explanation of Vlookup
=VLOOKUP(A30,Sheet1!A1:C3,3,FALSE)
A30 is the value to find
A1:30 is the array to find it in( i.e A1 - A3, B1-B3, B1-B3) on Sheet 1
vlookup looks in the leftmost column in the case Column A
3 is the coulmn of the array to return the value from
False indicates exact matches only.
Did you actually try it?

Thanks Mike
What I should have said is that the value in A30 (sheet 2) could be anywhere
in column A (sheet 1) so therefore the formulae needs to find the value in
A30 somewhere in column A (sheet 1) and then the corresponding value in that
C colunm.
If you can help that would be great

Try this in C30
=VLOOKUP(A30,Sheet1!A1:C3,3,FALSE)
