hi, i have a workbook with two sheets (sheet1 and sheet2).
Sheet 1 has the First Name, Last Name and Location of each user.
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]First Name[/TD]
[TD]Last Name[/TD]
[TD]Location[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Paul[/TD]
[TD]Allen[/TD]
[TD]New York[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Whitney[/TD]
[TD]Campbell[/TD]
[TD]Chicago[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Alan[/TD]
[TD]Baretto[/TD]
[TD]Los Angeles[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Sheet 2 only got First Name and Last Name. There can be multiple names of same user.
I need to populate location for each user

If your interested in a macro, try
Code:
Sub Getlocation()

   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim ValU As String
   Dim Ws1 As Worksheet
   Dim Ws2 As Worksheet
   
   Set Ws1 = Sheets("sheet1")
   Set Ws2 = Sheets("sheet2")
   
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For Each Cl In Ws1.Range("A2", Ws1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         ValU = Cl.Value & Cl.Offset(, 1).Value
         If Not .exists(ValU) Then .Add ValU, Cl.Offset(, 2).Value
      Next Cl
      For Each Cl In Ws2.Range("A2", Ws2.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         ValU = Cl.Value & Cl.Offset(, 1).Value
         If .exists(ValU) Then Cl.Offset(, 2).Value = .Item(ValU)
      Next Cl
   End With
End Sub
