VLookup or Index &a Match for scenario?


Question

Obviously an Excel question: 

 

I had to manually copy/paste from sheet to sheet today because I just had to get the job done but I know one or both of these could have helped.

 

I basically had a column on my "current sheet" that I wanted to drop sales data into from another sheet. My problem was, even after googling, I still came up with N/A etc. 

 

How would I write either of the vlookup or index/match to do this:

Mind you the data / company list is not in the same order on these worksheets..

 

Find Company X's sales on sheet 2, column 5 (as an example), and bring in to sheet 1, column 13. 

 

I want to reiterate they are sorted very differently and "sheet 2" contains company data not even listed on sheet 1. 

 

I am am still learning and googling and asking co workers as I build into a new role they've been quite patient, I'm taking another step to ask here as well.

Could you upload a spreadsheet? It's kind of tricky... Or something similar, I may help you out.

For example, 

 

=INDEX(ArrayOfValuesIwantToMatch,MATCH(MatchingArray,Array,0)); 

 

I know this may read cryptic. It took me a while to get the hang of it.
