But VLOOKUP is only using one lookup value? You can use this technique

=VLOOKUP(A1,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(MySheets,MATCH(TRUE ,COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&MySheets&"'!A1:A50"),A1)0,0 ))&"'!A:B"),2,0)

Where a list of sheet names is named "MySheets" and it will allow a de facto
VLOOKUP over multiple sheets.
The latter formula needs to be entered with ctrl + shift & enter.

How can I create a lookup formula that looks at information in cell V9 and
S9
in sheet 1 and finds the information in one of 5 other sheets to return
the
correct value in cell K9 of sheet 1?
