Assuming that the downloaded list is structured name, cost, then you can use
VLOOKUP

=VLOOKUP(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!A1:B1000,2,False)

where A1 holds the name to lookup. Obviously, the A1:B1000 should adjust to
whatever your limits are.

Also, make sure the a1 column in sheet2 is sorted alphabetically. This makes
a world of difference to that command.
