Default Matching and combining information on two separate worksheets

Is there a way to do the following?

One worksheet has the following information

02 - Sandee
03 - Scott
156 - Kali
300 - Tom

The other worksheet has

02
156
300
02
03


What I need to do is if the number from the first worksheet is in a column
in the second worksheet. I need to put the corresponding name with the
number (no matter how many times the number shows up).

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks

One crack at this ..

This source data is assumed in Sheet1, in A1:A4 (all in 1 col)
02 - Sandee
03 - Scott
156 - Kali
300 - Tom


And this is assumed in Sheet2, in A1:A4 (all are text numbers)
02
156
300
02
03


In Sheet2,
Put this in B1, normal ENTER will do:
=INDEX(Sheet1!A$1:A$4,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISNUMBER(SE ARCH(A1,Sheet1!A$1:A$4)),),0))

Copy down to return desired results, viz.:
02 02 - Sandee
156 156 - Kali
300 300 - Tom
02 02 - Sandee
03 03 - Scott

Success? hit the YES below

Hi,

You may use a VLOOKUP() function

=vlookup(sheet2!A2,sheet1!$A$2:$B$5,2,0)
