Use VLOOKUP and enter the following formula into the AP column, row 2 (assuming the first row is row 2):

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(W2,'tab reference'!$D$2:$E$3,2,FALSE),"")

The range 'tab reference'!$D$2:$E$3 refers to the lookup data you showed us. This assumes you only have three rows to lookup, but you may change this formula if you have more than this.
