Excel Table: matching an user name to an user key

In my Excel File, I have a list of user names and each and one of them have their unique user key.

On one sheet, I have all the user names and keys in 2 different columns as follows:

Column B      Column C

User Key1     User Name1

User Key2     User Name2

On another sheet, I have certain information that has been performed by an user. But instead of having the user name, I actually have the user key.

I would like to have the user name under the action and not the user key. Is there a formula or a trick so that I can perform this ?

I am using Microsoft Excel 2013. enter image description here][1

In the first sheet you have to sort by key (by column B) and then in the other sheet you can apply a Vlookup formula like this:

=VLOOKUP (value, table, col_index, [range_lookup])

value = a reference to the key for example: =C2

table = the sheet of keys 'Sheet1'(B1:C100)

col_index= The column where is the data you want, in this case is 2
range_lookup = Put it to FALSE
