    Formula Issue

    I need help....its been awhile since I worked on Excel and formulas.  Some of the formulas came easily but now I am stuck.  Can anybody help me?  Here is what I am needing. 

     

    Worksheet One                                                                  Worksheet Two

    Name                   Location                                                 Name                  SS#

    JOhn Smith            Texas                                                                           999-99-9999

    Peggy White          South Carolina                                                              999-99-999

     

    I am trying to write a formulas in worksheet two that will help lookup worksheet one by location and give me a name.  for example. lookup texas in cell b1 and obtain cell a1 and give me the text (value) into worksheet two in A1.  I hope this makes sense.  But any help you may have would be great....
