I need to be able to compare two lists and then move data from one to the
other if records are matched.
For example, I need to fill in Ben's State in My List but only if there is a
match in the Reference List.

My List:
Column A Column B
Name State
Ben

Reference List:
Column A Column B
Name State
Ben FL

I used the MATCH and VLOOKUP functions but has not quite got the job done
Please help!

=if(isna(vlookup(A2,StateRange,2,1),"",vlookup(A2, StateRange,2,1))

It was worth a try even though it did not work. I did however get the correct
function from a previous post I made which I thought did not go through. Its
under the same heading title. Thanks for the response though...
