How would I do a formula that would match the numbers in column A and H, when they match, then add the name/text from column I to column B, if any text?
I have over a 1,500 numbers on the list and I'm running the numbers from different phone system and pulling the numbers and names.

Thank you both Dente Amor and Peter_SSs, I appreciate your help on this. I'm not sure why the text is not showing up in column B. I checked the cell format, and made sure that the font color was not White. I placed the formula in B2, copied it down the column B, B3-=IFNA(VLOOKUP(A3,H:I,2,0)&"","") that has text in I3 put not showing in B3. What am I missing?

I'm not sure why the text is not showing up in column B.
One possibility would be that column A is text and column H is numerical or vice-versa. What do these return if placed in vacant cells?
=ISNUMBER(A2)
=ISNUMBER(H2)

Well Column A and Column H were formated different, A was General and H was Text, so I made them both General. The text still did not show so I opened a new Excel sheet and it worked in the new Excel sheet.
I added these in the sheet that did not show the text and I got
=ISNUMBER(A2) TRUE
=ISNUMBER(H2) FALSE
I'll start on a new Excel sheet, thanks for your help.

No need to do that. With the original sheet, just change the formula in B2 to
Excel Formula:
=IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2&"",H:I,2,0)&"","")
That worked great. Thanks again. Have a great weekend.
