Default How to search a spread sheet for a value and return the adjacentv

You would normally use VLOOKUP for this. Assuming your values are in
columns A and B, then put this in B1 of Sheet1:

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

then copy it down. If there is a match, you will get the data from the
adjacent column, but with no match you will get #N/A.

Hope this helps.
