Can data on a second sheet be pulled up by a cell on sheet 1?

Hi… I work in an Emergency Room, and I’m trying to set up either a formula or macro so that when I’m making the “Call List” for the day I can type out the doctor’s name in the “A” column, and in the “C” column of the same row have the phone number for the office automatically populate into that cell. Is there a way to do this without buying an expensive add-in? Is there a way I can program this? I’ve been looking, google’ing everything I can think of to try to get this to happen. I’m working with a second sheet within the workbook so that all the names and phone numbers are hidden in the back end of the spreadsheet. So far I have on the second sheet, where the phone number for each doctor would be listed: =IF(General_on_call=”doctor’sname”, REPLACE(Sheet1!C3,1,8,”555-1115″),”Not Oncall”) but this does not populate the phone number into Sheet 1 cell C3 where I want it. Is it possible to do this, and if so, how? I’m about to scrap this whole project and have an officespace style beat down on the computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
