had a play on google sheets - index/match with a right should work
=index(Sheet2!B:B,match(right(A2,3),Sheet2!A:A,0))
however as the supplier maybe any length of character

=index(Sheet2!B:B,match(right(A2,len(A2)- search("-",A2)),Sheet2!A:A,0))
not sure if this links to google sheets


heres is the excel version
