for that to happen, you have to rearrange your data a bit (to use VLOOKUP.
Put ID the Second Column and the Name in the First Column
Write this Formula in the Fourth Column:
=IF(C2<>"",VLOOKUP(C2,A:B,2,FALSE),"")
Column C is where you type in the name to be found
Its good to sort the Names in ascending order before you apply the formula.
There are other ways to do it without VLOOKUP, but I am not familiar with those formulas (look for Index Match functions if you don't want to change the format of the columns).
Hope it will help.
