Excel lookup value and return another value
In Excel how can I look through a range of values in column A and if a match is found return that value in column B. I attached a sample Excel file.
In the sample file I need to search column A and return when a match is found for
the value = Car in Column B. Thanks for any help !

at wilder1626 thanks for the reply, I am having trouble following the sample file you provided (sorry). Can you view the sample file I uploaded? I was hoping someone could edit the sample I provided it might be easier for me to follow.
i don't see your file. Can you attach the file again please?

Here is the sample file. I was hoping to be able to do this with just the one column of data, as in the sample. Thanks again.

Attached is an updated file of what I was hoping to get back in Column B.
Its just a sample file, I realize I can do this with a filter or sort. but I have a LONG list of items with much longer names. I want to get the basic idea and then build on it.
