enter data in 1 cell and produce a number in another cell
 

I am trying to set up a form for co-workers with limited computer skills.

In cell "A" the employee would enter a name and I need to have a
corresponding number appear in another cell. As the form is used for legal
documentation, the corresponding number must be accurate and since the
numbers are long, we are trying to avoid errors upfront.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
