    You can use XLOOKUP for this purpose.

    Let's say the sheet with the completed comments is named Other Sheet, with tag numbers in B2:B100 and comments in D2:D100.

    On the sheet without comments, let's say the tag numbers are in C2:C50.

    In the comment column, enter the following formula in row 2:

    =XLOOKUP(C2:C50, 'Other Sheet'!B2:B100, 'Other Sheet'!D2:D100, "")

    This will automatically spill its results to rows 2 to 50.
