This is from a post (verbatim) a while back:

The Custom Excel Functions

Function VLOOKAllSheets(Look_Value As Variant, Tble_Array As Range, _
* * * * * * * * * * * * * Col_num as Integer, Optional Range_look as Boolean)

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Written by OzGrid.com

'Use VLOOKUP to Look across ALL Worksheets and stops _
at the first match found.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
Dim vFound

On Error Resume Next

*For Each wSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
* With wSheet
* Set Tble_Array = .Range(Tble_Array.Address)
* *vFound = WorksheetFunction.VLookup _
* *(Look_Value, Tble_Array, _
* *Col_num, Range_look)
* End With
* If Not IsEmpty(vFound) Then Exit For
*Next wSheet

*Set Tble_Array = Nothing
*VLOOKAllSheets = vFound
End Function

To use this code do this:

1. Push Alt+F11 and go to InsertModule
2. Copy and paste in the code.
3. Push Alt+Q and Save.

Now in any cell put in the Function like this:

=VLOOKAllSheets("Dog",C1:E20,2,FALSE)

Where "Dog" is the value to find

" " C1:E20 is the range to look in the first column and find "Dog"

" " 2 is the relative column position in C1:E20 to return return our result
from.

" " FALSE (or ommited) means find and exact match of "Dog"

In other words the UDF has the exact same syntax as Excels VLOOKUP. The only
difference is that it will look in ALL Worksheets and stop at the first
match.

Hope that helps you a bit.
