How to get a data field from a different row and retrieve it to another row corresponding to a data?

Hello Experts,

I would like to get a particular data from a different row and retrieve it to another row corresponding to a data. Let me explain it:

Assume that I have  a column (A). the column A has differrnt data (values) within different rows. 

I would like to create a new column (for example column New) and retrieve the different values of the column A in my new column based on a shared value from column B.

How to do that? 

something like that:

Column A    ColumnB     New Column

Row1: x1      y                        x2

Row2: x2      y                        x4

.

.

.

Row3=xn    y

Thanks in adavnce

I have my own idea for that,a and it worked for me.

I got the same datasource again and created a connection between two tables. then, I used the lookup function in the first table and retrieved my intended data.

Thanks for your kind reply;

I would like to get y3 from row3 based on x1 (which is common data among the rows) and retrieve it in a new column in the row 1. How to do that? Of course this is simple. I would like to write a function to do for all of my rows.
