Sorry, I thought you were looking at VLOOKUP() specifically. You are
correct, it is not part of the total solution here for two reasons:
#1 - you need to look in two separate lookup lists: A1:B7 and also in B1:C7
and even a combined VLOOKUP such as
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(10,A$1:B$7,2)),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(10 ,B$1:C$7,2)),"not
found",VLOOKUP(10,B$1:C$7,2)),VLOOKUP(10,A$1:B$7,2 ))
is always going to stop at the first match in the first lookup range (A1:B7)

#2 - you have duplicate values to find in at least one of the groups [ 10..2
and 10..3] and VLOOKUP will again stop at the first match.

There is a way to deal with this, I've seen it, and I've just got to find
where it's been done before and repeat it here. Let me think on it a while,
call in some heavy weight help, and/or hope someone who's done it recently
steps in and shows us how to do it again.

"Wrap" your VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP within an ISNA() function. General format
would be like this:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(10,A1:C7,2),"",VLOOKUP(10,A1:C7,2 ))
