Sorry Gary.. I'm not getting the expected result

Col A Col B Col C
123 | ABC | Manager
524 | SDF | Clerk
268 | FHE | Asst
458 | HTL | Clerk
123 | KIT | Clerk
467 | NIT | CSR
231 | GET | CSR
254 | BAT | CSR
268 | CAT | CSR

In the above table I have Ref# 123 (Col A) common for 'ABC' & 'KIT' (Col
B)

In E2 I'll enter ref#, In F2 I'll enter Name and I should get designation
in
G2

If in F2 I enter ABC, then I should get Manager in G2
If I enter KIT in F2, then I should get clerk in G2

Pls help..
