Let's say the Sheet1 stuff is in A1:B10 and on Sheet2 the word 'billy' is in
A1
In B1 of Sheet2 use =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$B$10,2,False)
best wishes

I am going to assume for each sheet you describe, that the data starts in row
1.
On sheet 2, row 1 column B (also B1) type:

=LOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A1:A30,Sheet1!B1:B30)

Change the Sheet1 to match the name of the sheet, if different. Copy and
paste down column B of sheet 2. Adjust the range to match your data range.
