Default VLOOKUP


If you have Sheet1 with Store number in cells A1 to A100, and training date
in B1 to B100, then in the other sheet you have employe names in Column A and
Store numbers in column B, type this in column C and copy down:

=VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet1!$A$1:$B$100,2,false)

And that should work.

Am I going about this the wrong way....I have a sheet with a store number and
training date. I have a separate sheet with a list of employees and store
numbers. I am trying to match the training date with each employee, based on
store number.

It seems like VLOOKUP cannot reference a cell (in this case I want to use
the store number column and not manually type in each row) to then match the
store number on the other table to return the training date on the sheet with
all of the employees. Is there another way to do this?

Thanks.
