How do i grab a table value to fill a cell?
 

I need to change two columns on a spread sheet to match the table for vendor
codes and ledger codes. In other words, on the spreadsheet it shows the code
and I want the actual name to appear from a sheet that lists all the codes
with the corresponding name.

Look at VLOOKUP function.

Assuming your lookup table has the code in Col A and Names in Col B on
Sheet2 rows 2 to 100 then

=Vlookup(<vendorcode,Sheet2!a2:b100,2,false)

where <vendorcode is the code in your first sheet; this can be a cell e.g
A1 with formula in B1:

=Vlookup(A1,Sheet2!a2:b100,2,false)

This formula will need to be a new column in your first sheet. Copy down as
required.

If you want to replace the code with the name i.e in same cell, will need to
use VBA.
