Default Function needed to search and pull data from 1 table to anothe

Hi Eduardo,
When use this it seems to just return the same list in the same order back
on sheet one. For example, "Cat Smith" is on sheet 1, but not on sheet 2,
using the formula, her job function comes back as "marketing", yet it shoul
really have N/A.

Hi,
assuming that your first list is in sheet2 column A and B and you want to
pull the information in sheet1 where you have the names in column A starting
row 2 in B2 enter

=index(sheet2!$B$1:$B$1000,match(A1,sheet2!$A$1:$A $1000,0))

Really need some help to determine what function/formula to use.
Table A contains names of Learners and their job functions. The same learner
could be there twice, and some learners have no job funtion.
Learner Name Job Function
A, EASWAR Marketing
A, EASWAR Marketing
Aarts, Hans
Abib, Marcelo Research
Abib, Marcelo Research
Abo El Azayem, Mohamed HR
Abou-Taleb, Khaled Marketing
AceƱa Garcia, Luis Sales

The second table just has learner names. I need to pull the job function
from the other table to this. However, note that there could be someone on
this list that is not in the list above, or again, in here twice.
Learner Name
A, EASWAR
