Lookup in one column, and return value from another column
 

I am trying to look at the text in cell A1-Sheet1, find that text in column
1-sheet2, find the value in the corresponding row of column3-sheet2, then
paste that value in A2-Sheet1.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Lookup in one column, and return value from another column
 

One way is to use VLOOKUP ..

Put in Sheet1's A2: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:C,3,0)

Perhaps better (but longer) with some error traps included:
=IF(A1="","",IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,0)),"",
VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:C,3,0)))

In Sheet1!A1:

=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:C,3,FALSE)
