Replace contents of Excel column with realtional data from another column/sheet?

I have two excel sheets that have been exported from MySQL, with relational data in them, and I need to replace the reference ID's with the actual data from the relative column.

For example, in one table:

+----------------------------------------+| ID  | Name | ForeignKey1 | ForeignKey2 |+----------------------------------------+| 1   | Bob  | 1           | 2           || 2   | Dave | 2           | 1           || 3   | Mary | 3           | 4           || 4   | Jane | 4           | 1           || etc........

Then in the other table, that the ForeignKeys are referencing:

+---------------------+| ID | Name           |+---------------------+| 1  | Banana         || 2  | Apple          || 3  | Cat            || 4  | Dog            || etc.......

Is there an easy way to replace the Foreign key with the relative data in excel, so that my data looks like this?

+----------------------------------------+| ID  | Name | ForeignKey1 | ForeignKey2 |+----------------------------------------+| 1   | Bob  | Banana      | Apple       || 2   | Dave | Apple       | Banana      || 3   | Mary | Cat         | Dog         || 4   | Jane | Dog         | Banana      || etc........
