=vlookup([cell in column with number],[table range],2,FALSE)

So, let's say the numbers you want to look for are in column A, the number you want to find are in column Y - therefore the data you want to return is in column Z. Let's say you want to write this data to column B. In all cases, the data runs to row 100.


Formula in B2 would be =vlookup(A2,$Y$2:$Z$100,2,FALSE)

Drag this formula down the cells in column B.
