I have two worksheets. Sheet 1 contains a number in column A and a name in
column C. On Sheet 2 I put my data from a csv file.

What I would like to do is vlookup Sheet 1 column C from the information on
Sheet 2 and return the number in column A that is associated with the name in
column C.
Ex.

Sheet 1 Sheet 2

A B C A B

33 N6-270-15 N6-270-75 35
34 N6-270-30 N6-270-15 33
35 N6-270-75 N6-270-15 33
36 N6-270-110 N6-270-30 34

VLOOKUP cannot do this, because the result you want is left of the range
to match (VLOOKUP requires the result to be in the same column or to the
right of the range to match).

But this will work in Sheet2 B1:

=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$4,MATCH($A1,Sheet1!$C$1:$C$4 ,0),1)

Fill down.

You can use an index/match ..
In Sheet2,
Assume data in A2 down
Put in B2:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!B:B,0)),"",INDEX(Sheet1!A :A,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!B:B,0)))
Copy down as far as required
voila?, hit the YES below

Max,
Your formula needs a little treeking:
Novice Lee has put the information on Sheet 1 in Columns A & C (not B).
So"
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!B:B,0)),"",INDEX(Sheet1!A :A,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!B:B,0)))"
Should be
"=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!C:C,0)),"",INDEX(Sheet1! A:A,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!C:C,0)))"

Agreed, it should be:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!C:C,0)),"",
INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!C:C,0)))

Thanks for the correction
