Default Matching Data

Hi

I have two sheets in a single workbook

I want to look up where data in sheet 1 Column A matches the data and sheet
2 Column A and where there is a match bring the relevant data from Sheet 2
Column H and place it into Column H on Sheet 1.

I think this is a Lookup, but cannot get the syntax right.

Any help much appreciated
thanks

Alex

Default Matching Data

In cell H1 on Sheet 1 put the following formula, adjusting the lookup range
accordingly and then copy down

=VLOOKUP(A1,'Sheet 2'!A1:H200,8,FALSE)
