The suggested formula assumed that the real lookup table occupies columns B through Z on worksheet source. The reference to $B$1:$Z$1 should be to the header labels in that lookup table. And since the formula is going on the target worksheet, I could have simplified it to:
=VLOOKUP($B2,source!$B:$Z,
=VLOOKUP($B2,source!$B:$Z,

Rod... your solution works perfect for the manager field... can you do the same for the userid?
=VLOOKUP($B2,source!$B:$Z,
Note that the formula returns #N/A if either the column header label or the employee ID is not found. The former problem was caused in part by an extra space at the end of "manager " in Source cell E1.
