Is it possible to use VLOOKUP and return a formula? *Here is my situation:

Spreadsheet 1

Spreadsheet 2

Column A * * * Column B * * *Column C * * *Column D
Equity * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *concatenate(B2,"

Muni * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *concatenate(C2,"

","GOVT")
Option * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * concatenate(B2,"
","OPT")

My goal is to vlookup spreadsheet 1 on Column a to spreadsheet 2 (matching
on column a) and return the formula in column d.

Many thanks.
