Here's what I can't figure out how to do, I have two lists of checks, each
formatted with first column check number and second column check amount:
CK# Amount CK# Amount
101 525.35 104 425.50
102 225.45 101 525.35
103 400.00 105 115.00
104 425.50 102 225.45
105 115.00 103 400.00

I've searched for a worksheet function that will look at a check number in
the first list, search for it in the second list, and if found, return the
check amount value to a cell.
Grateful for any help.

vlookup should get you there.

Take a look at VLOOKUP in Help.

VLOOKUP() will do exactly what you need. Checkout Excel Help for this
function.

With first list in A1 to B100
And second list in Y1 to Z100

Enter this in C2:

=VLOOKUP(A2,$Y$1:$Z$100,2,0)

And copy down as needed.
