SharePoint: Is it possible to have a field value returned from a column in another list?

I am not a programmer though so I ne开发者_运维问答ed it to be done in SharePoint as a function please.

So if List A has column 1 value Michael, I want List A column 2 to return a value from List B that has an item with a column 1 value of Michael.

Is this possible?

Thank you so much

It is possible. Unfortunately, what you seek is not something that can be done without any manner of programming. Basically, your goal is that List A Column 2 is a Lookup column that references a specific value on List B. This itself is simple enough, just create a Lookup Column that references said value on List B.

To make it specifically grab the List B item whose Column 1 value is the same as the Column 1 value on the List A item, that is what will require some amount of code. Be it an Event Handler, or maybe you could set up a workflow with SharePoint Designer (I'm hesitant about that but I imagine it should be possible to some degree). It is not that difficult of a code and I can provide you some basic instructions to set it up if you wish to go down the programming route.
