Default How can I find items that have a certain prefix and define?

I have one file (file A) that has many items and these items all begin with
different prefixes(ex. aaa123456). I have another file (file B)that can
identify what the prefix means. This file B has the 3-digit prefix in
column A, the full name of the prefix in column B. How can I add a new
column in File A that has the full name of the prefix by creating a formula
to look at File A, and if it contains a prefix that is on File B, it will add
the corresponding name to that row?
