This seems like a simple problem to me, but I haven't got a clue where
to start.

I have two spreadsheets. Spreadsheet A contains teachers and the name
of the school they work at. Spreadsheet B contains all schools in the
state and the addresses.

I want to merge the address to the school onto spreadsheet A. In other
words, I would like the correct address to appear after the school name
for each teacher. The address will be in separate cells.

I assume a formula using functions would do this. Can you help?

If Sheet1 has Teacher in column A and School in column B,
Sheet2 has school in column A and address fields in subsequesnt columns,
and school name is entered exactly the same on Sheet1 as on Sheet2

in C1 on Sheet1
=index(Sheet2!B:B,MATCH($B1,SHEET2!$A:$A,0))
Copy down and across as needed.
If your list in Sheet1 does not start in row 1, adjust where you start (C1)
and what you match (B1).
