I have 2 wookbooks.
In the first work book i have 3 columns, (as in pic1), columns have name, ranking, and points totals.
In the second work book I have the same columns, however the names are NOT in the same order.
I want to look up the name from the second workbook and find the points total for that person from the first work book.
Iam lost
Thanks

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Hey this is my first attempt at answering a question here 😅 I'm usually asking them,

You could use a Vlookup right?

It would look something like this but you haven't shared the workbook names or columns so I can't attempt to make this fit your workbook,

You would add this formula to the 3rd column of your second workbook,

Excel Formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2,'H:New Model BEV & ICE\25MY BEV\[DHL BIW BOH.xlsm]Workbook1'!$A:$C,3,0)

Although this doesn't fix your Issue I hope it somehow helps
