    Automate Vlookup in Excel spreadsheet

    Hello All,

    I'm kinda stuck with this spreadsheet lookup. I've a sheet 1 and sheet 2 in single spreadsheet:
    Sheet 1..........................Sheet 2

    Col A Col B Col A Col B
    1 Damaged
    2 Rework Needed
    12 Customer Reject
    11 Lost
    16 Poor Quality
    I need to automate this using Vlookup/or any other technique you guys suggest, so that when user enters value say (1 or 2) in Col B of sheet 1 then Col A of (sheet 1) will populate the values automatically from sheet 2 (Damaged, Rework needed, etc)

    Please help guys

    So if someone enters a 16 in A1 of Sheet1 you want "Poor Quality" in B1?

    Why not just use a normal worksheet VLookup formula in B1?

    Other way around Paul.

    =VLOOKUP(B1,Sheet2!A:B,2,False)

    in A1 and copy down.

    A - B

    B - A
