Thanks Mike

What I should have said is that the value in A30 (sheet 2) could be anywhere
in column A (sheet 1) so therefore the formulae needs to find the value in
A30 somewhere in column A (sheet 1) and then the corresponding value in that
C colunm.

If you can help that would be great

Try this in C30

=VLOOKUP(A30,Sheet1!A1:C3,3,FALSE)
