IF THEN WHERE statement?
I have two sheets in a workbook. I need to set a cell's value where the ID on one sheet equals the ID on a different sheet. But there's not always going to be a match, they don't line up equally. Is there a way where Excel looks for the value within an entire column, and if it finds one, it grabs the value in the other cell. (Excel 365 on Windows 10)
So: set sheet1:B2 to sheet2:VendorID.? where sheet1.AgentID = sheet2.VenderCode
Can that be done?
Sheet 1
Sheet 2
As a comment, with XLOOKUP we may return entire spill at once
=XLOOKUP(A2:A10,Sheet2!B2:B100,Sheet2!A2:A100, "no such")

- =XLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!B:B,Sheet2!A:A)
Will work also. Just drag down.Thanks! I entered it and I got 0 back as a value. I'm trying to figure out why because there's an entry it should have picked up

Yes, it can be done quite easily.
In your sheet 1, whatever column you wish to enter it
=INDEX(Sheet2!A2:A18,MATCH(Sheet1!A2,Sheet2!B2:B18,0))
Note, I just entered through row 18 because that's how far your image extended; those two references to A2:A19 and B2:B19 should reflect the actual size the data array in your own Sheet2)
Please consider convert to number the ID values
=INDEX(Sheet2!A2:A17,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!B2:B17,0),1)- Thank you, everyone! The formula is working!
