is it possible to take a value from a table and use it to look up a value in a second table? I have a table with about 1800 records containing just customer numbers. I would like to look up these customer numbers in a big (50,000 records) table to get the full name. is this possible?

P.S. you may have noticed that I am not a frequent (or ever) Excel user and the MS Excel help is pathetic.

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.

In what range is the first table and in what range is the second table? And where is the full name in the second table?
