Say your code is in A1 of Sheet1 and Sheet2 contains your column of codes (in
column A) and Names (column B).

You could use:

=vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:b,2,false)

or to avoid a few errorw if there wasn't a match:

=if(a1="","",if(iserror(vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:b,2,fa lse)),"No Match!",
vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:b,2,false)))

(all in one cell)

Debra Dalgleish has lots of notes on =vlookup():

I have the same code(numeric) on two worksheets. One A it has more detailed
information and the code could be listed more then once in a column. On B the
code is only listed once but also has a name that is assigned to the code. I
need to get the name (text) assigned to the first worksheet.

Thanks

Indeed VLOOKUP probably is what you need.

If you'd like to have somewhat more detailed support, please supply somewhat more details about your requirements.
