Replace a Field with Data from Another Spreadsheet's Row...

I have a complicated situation that I am trying desperately to bridge. I have three spreadsheets, lets call them A, B, and C. I then have two more spreadsheets which are used to establish relationships between these spreadsheets, i.e. A-B and B-C. The problem is that A-B and B-C both use ID's to establish these relationships and I need to use actual item names.

What I am looking for is some sort of code I can use that can identify the ID and replace it with that row's title field from another spreadsheet. So In A-B where the spreadsheet looks something like...

ID A | ID B
----------
1 | 2

... I want it to replace the 1 with Apple, found on this spreadsheet...

ID | Name
----------
1 | Apple

I hope this makes sense - this thing is absolutely driving me nuts and this data needs to be input into a large website.

Thank you so much for your help!

Sincerely,
Eric G.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
