Hi
Sheet 1 :
Col A Col B Col C
Row1 Joe Green 45100
Row2 Joe Red 30000
Row3 Joe Blue 15000
Row4 Sag Green 2077
Row5 Sag Red 31001
Row6 Sag Blue 45000

Sheet 2 :
Col A Col B Col C
Row1 Joe Green ?
Row2 Joe Red ?
Row3 Sag Blue ?
Row4 Sag Green ?

Looking to get answer in Sheet 2 Col C
So Sheet 2 Col A must match to Sheet 1 Col A
When found, Lookup Sheet 2 B1 on Sheet 1 Col B
When found, return contents in Col C

Hope I have explained this well.
If anyone can please assist will make my job easier for me.
Thanking you in advance
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
not sure if column A has row - or if that was illustration

Name in column A on both sheets
Values in column B on sheet 1

and you want those values to be matched against the name on sheet 2

=Vlookup(Sheet2!A1, Sheet1$A$2:$B$100,2,false)

example on 1 sheet so you can see the principle

i would use an index/match to do the lookup
you will need a Control+shift+enter to make an array, microsoft 365 does that automatically now

This may not be a problem with your data, but you could get wrong answers with etaf's solution

Given that the results are numeric, why not simply use sumifs?

=SUMIFS(Sheet1!C$2:C$8,Sheet1!A$2:A$8,A2,Sheet1!B$2:B$8,B2)

@Fluff
Thats interesting, never thought of that issue, before, learning all the time, thank you, for pointing it out
I'm assuming the | is just a random character to separate the 2 cells , so your example of JoeG | Reen cannot happen
No significance in using the | just cleaner - BUT Z or 2 or any character would work

No real significance to the |, just that it's unlikely to be in the data.
For instance if I used G as the delimiter & there was Joe Reen in A2,B2 you would still get the wrong answer.
