=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$8,2,0)

Hi Dan,

You need a Vlookup for this.
It gets a little more complicated amending a formula posted here when they
are on different sheets as it is easy to move a ' meaning your code won't
work.

If you type =vlookup( into your forula bar then click oin the fx to the
left you will get the prompt and should be able to work it out.

Lookup value is the cell on sheet 1 which containts the value you want to
look for on sheet 2

Table array is the whole table on sheet 2 which should have the list of
vendor codes in the far left column and include the value you want to return
(A1:C2)

Col_index_number will be the number of columns accross from the far left
which contains your phone numbers (if the venor code is in column A and the
phone number is in column C, you will want 3)

Range lookup should normally be set to FALSE
