Can you help me with a function?

=INDEX(A1:B5, MATCH($D1,A1:A5,0),$E1)

I have one reference sheet ie col A & B and another which has Col D.

I consistently need to keep entering ?fruit? in column D in another worksheet (same wb). I want to match Oranges from Column D to same value in Column A and bring value B over to populate column E.

I have been playing around with Index and Match etc etc and cannot find the right combo.
This would be a HUGE time saver for me not to have to re-enter the same data hundreds of times!

Help with Function

Did you try the =VLOOKUP() Function

=VLOOKUP(C1,$A$1:$B$8,2,FALSE)
=VLOOKUP(lookup Value,Table_Arry,Col_Index,false)

Example Function is written in Cell D1 and can be copied down to other cells. The last parameter FALSE look for exact match rather than nearest match. Please read help document in Excel.

Thank you for the quick response and great advice. I did read up on the vlookup before.. I must have misunderstood. I didn't think it would return the actual value. The solution worked perfectly!!!
