I have to find profit for the same item from sheet2 *and to write in sheet1

Hello

If i understand well your question, this can be done with the help of
the vlookup function : this function is used to retrieve the profit of
a given item in sheet2, sheet which is used as a reference table.
In the B2 cell of Sheet1, try this formula

= VLOOKUP(A2;SHEET2!A:B;2;FALSE)

where
A2 is the cell containing the item code you're looking for;
SHEET2!A:B ( means the columns A and B of sheet 2) is used as the
profit per item reference table;
2 is the column rank from the reference table (defined above) from
which we want to retrieve the data
FALSE specifies that we're looking for the perfect match between
Sheet1!A1 and the values of Sheet2 colum A.

If it's ok, you can copy the formula on the other rows of Sheet1.
