You would use a Vlookup. The specifics depend on exactly how your date is stored
in the Promotion tab.

If it's text, you should be able to use:

=vlookup(text(a2,"mmm-yy"),Promotion!A:B,2,false)

If it's a date, you would need to know which day is stored in the cell. Assuming
it's day 1, you can use:

=vlookup(date(year(a2),month(a2),1),Promotion!A:B, 2,false)

I have attached a word file showing what I am looking for as I was
having a hard time trying to lay it all out in here.

I am trying to find a formula that will tell me what percatage of a
promotion to use by going to another worksheet and finding the chart
that shows the discounts offered in a particular month.

The word file will explain it better.....I hope!
