    That question is to vague, please post an example and the expected result.
    Just a note: The is no formula "find something anywhere" available in Excel.

    Hi @Maurizio5

    Welcome to Q&A forum ~

    I would suggest you try the Vlookup function in Sheet 1, such as =VLOOKUP(C3,Sheet2!$D$2:$E$4,2,FALSE).

    Since you are essentially looking up data... Xlookup is the most versatile lookup tool in excel right now, imo. Good luck.

    Hope this gives a little more context. (if you change the GLFOX1 on sheet1 to GLFOX2 the Formula cell will return 2.)
