Default Can Excel do 'lookups' and show different data depending upon the cell with the focus?

I have Excel 2008 for the Mac and (to be honest) I'm only an occasional
user.

Is there a way to do the following:

I have the focus on cell A1. In cell D1 Excel will display the word
"Elephant"
I move the focus to cell A2 and Excel will display in cell D1 the word
"Giraffe".
I move the focus to cell A3 and Excel will display in cell d1 the word
"Zebra"

In other words, can Excel do some kind of lookup based on the cell the focus
is on?
