VLOOKUP Formula
Hi Smartsheet community!
This may seem like a simple question but I cannot figure out this formula for the life of me.
I am trying to do a basic VLOOKUP formula. On sheet #1 I will have a column that lists employee alias's and a column that will VLOOOKUP that same alias's level from sheet #2.
On sheet #2 it will be a list of alias's and their matching level.
Sheet #1: (raw data no formula)
Sheet #2: (VLOOKUP Sheet)
I am needing the VLOOKUP formula to pull the level listed on sheet #1 and match it to the alias on sheet #2.
I keep getting error messages back and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @BCK Team
Hope you are fine, please check the following formula
=VLOOKUP(Alias@row, {Sheet#1 Level}, 2)
i suppose the column number in the searching table in sheet#1 for levell is 2

I hope you are well, safe and happy too!
I re-read my initial post and realized I explained my situation backwards. My apologies.
This is what I am needing.
Sheet #1 will contain a list of an employee alias's, sometimes the alias will be listed multiple times. In the column "Level (Formula)" on sheet #1, I am needing the VLOOKUP formula to pull the level that matches this alias from Sheet #2.
Sheet #1:
Sheet #2 will hold a list of all employee alias's and their matching level. This is where the formula (in sheet #1) will be pulling from.
Sheet #2:
I have tried a variation of formulas:
=VLOOKUP(Alias@row, {Sheet #2 Range 1} + {Sheet #2 range 2}, 2)
=VLOOKUP(Alias@row, {Sheet #2 Range 1}:{Sheet #2 range 2}, 2)
I am not sure how to fix my formula.
Thanks again for the help :)
