I have 2 sheets:
Sheet 1 has a list of names in random order in column A, such as:
Bill
Alex
Denzil
Colin

I want place a value associated with the name in column B, that is a look up from sheet 2

Sheet 2 has the names and values, however in a different order, such as:
Alex 16
Colin 15
Denzil 4
Bill 10

I am a bit lost.
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
I guess the question is how to do 2 lookups in the same statement

You can do that like
Excel Formula:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$10,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$10,0))
