Hello, here is my scenario I need help with please:
I have one report that has names and titles in one excel tab. I have another report with names and phone numbers on another tab. The names are the shared element. What exact formula can I use so that the report with titles can search for a name match from the other excel tab of numbers and when it finds a name match, populate that person's phone number into that person's row that has their title? Im assuming it's some form of vlookup but not sure. Thank you very much!

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
yes a vlookup or index/match

more detail of tabs names and range would help
report with titles = name (column A) and titles (Column B), phone number from other sheet (Column C)
tab of numbers = name (column A) and phone number (Column B) .

in sheet report with titles (Column C)

=VLOOKUP( A2, 'tab of numbers'!A:B,2,0)
