Default VLookup Data in two Sheets

In B column on Sheet 2

=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A1:B4,2,FALSE)

Alter the ranges and cell values as appropriate and then copy formula down

Hi,

Try something like

=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:B,2,)

or for a smaller lookup table

=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A$2:B$100,2,)

The $ signs are important

Thanks,
