Hello Vanessa,

You can achieve this by using the VLOOKUP function with a helper column to combine the first and last names for an exact match. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: In both worksheets, create a new column (for example, Column D) that combines Last Name and First Name. Use this formula in cell D2 of both sheets:
=A2 & ” ” & B2

Step 2: Now, in Worksheet 1 (let’s say in cell C2), use the following formula to bring the location from Worksheet 2:
=VLOOKUP(D2, ‘Worksheet2’!D:C, 3, FALSE)

‘Worksheet2’!D:C assumes you have the combined names in Column D and location in Column C in Worksheet 2.

Adjust the column references as needed. It checks for an exact match of combined first and last names in both sheets and returns the location from Worksheet 2.
