VLOOKUP searches for the lookup value (A2) in the first column of the lookup range (i.e. Sheet1 column A). If it finds a match, it returns the value from the column of the lookup range specified in the 3rd argument. In your example, the column index is 2, so it would return a value from Sheet1 column B.
