I have a spreadsheet w/ two sheets. Sheet 1 has a column of names and a column of numbers. Sheet 2 references data from Sheet 1.
Sheet 1
+---+------+--------+
| | A | B |
+---+------+--------+
| 1 | Name | Number |
+---+------+--------+
| 2 | Foo | 10 |
In Sheet 2, I'm referencing Sheet 1. ie: ='Sheet 1':A2. I have another spot where I need to get the number value thats associated to the cell referenced.
Sheet 2
+---+----------------+-------------------------------------------+
| | A | B |
+---+----------------+-------------------------------------------+
| 1 | Bar | Baz |
+---+----------------+-------------------------------------------+
| 2 | ='Sheet 1':A2 | Needs to look up what cell was referenced |
| | | in cell A2, and get the appropriate |
| | | number column, next to that cell |
| | | In this case it would be 'Sheet 1':B2 |

What you need is a vLookup function
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:B,2,false)
