Default help with vlookup

Hello

I have a spreadsheet of a rather large stocklist. I use this to check off
the price charged on the invoice when we receive the goods, against the
quoted buy price in the spreadsheet. Column A3 - A8000 (ish) contains a
product code; B3 = description; C3 = buy price; D3 = sell price; E3 = Profit
margin, etc.

I use this formula (courtesy of Sandyman) to make my checking off easier, as
i just enter the code in and voila!
=IF($A$2="","",VLOOKUP($A2,$A3:$E10000,COLUMNS($A$ 2:B2),FALSE))

My question is this: is there a way to extract the cell reference aswell and
have it appear with the other information, incase the price in the stocklist
is incorrect and i need to change it, to save me looking through the 8000 odd
entries...?

Any help much appreciated.
