How do I select price from sheet.b where sheet.a part no = sheet.b

[Sonny]

Hi all,
how do I select price from sheet B where sheet A part no is equal to sheet B
part no. E.g.
I have a list on worksheet A with no price.
SHEET A
PartNumber Description Price
0000001
0000002
0000003
0000004
0000005
0000006
0000007

I have a list on worksheet B with values for price, I need these prices for
the same part no as on worksheet A to populate the price column on worksheet
A.
SHEET B
PartNumber Price
0000001 1.50
0000002 0.80
0000003 0.30
0000004 2.50
0000005 6.00
0000006 3.80
0000007 1.20

I cannot simply sort and copy the price information, as there are many
inconsistencies between these two worksheet some of the part no's may be
there some may not, but for any that are there I need the price.

Hi Bob,
thank you very much for the formula, however I am having difficulty in
getting it to work. I beleive the two '@@' at signs are causing the problem.
I am getting an error box appearing saying the formula you typed contains an
error. I have copied and pasted the formula exactly as you specified below.
Hope you can shed some light on this, sorry but I am a bit of a novice as
far as formulas are concerned..

Many thanks for your help.
Sonny.

My fault mat, my keyboard plays up occasionally and replaces " by @. It
should be

=IF(ISNA(vlookup('SHEET B'!A1:B20,A2,2,False)),"",
vlookup('SHEET B'!A1:B20,A2,2,False))

Hi Bob,
again many thanks for your help..... however I am still find it difficult to
work... seems I now get an error of the type #VAULE!
also after I have typed the formula in a pop-up box appears with Update
Values in its header, then I am to select the sheet where it should get the
data to update the sheet from. I select the correct sheet for it to open and
select values from....... after doing this I get the #VALUE! error.........
any ideas where I am going wrong, sorry to be such a pain.....

and thanks for all your help so far....
