Default VLOOKUP Function to return values in multipal Columns

Hi,

Just change the column argument to 3, 4, 5,... The 2 in the following
formula is the column argument.

=VLOOKUP(C5,Sheet1!B$1:C$16,2,FALSE)

You can make it more dynamic by doing something like

=VLOOKUP(C5,Sheet1!B$1:C$16,COLUMN(B1),FALSE)

then when you copy the formula to the right you will get the results for
column 3, then 4, then 5,....

I'm using the VLOOKUP function to look up value in another sheet and return
the corresponding value, My problem is It works for the first column but the
how do I get the next 4 columns

Sheet 1 has the date that needs to be looked up and once the Employee name
is found then return the corresponding values in Column D,E,F
Sheet 1
C D E F

Employees Volume Hours VPH

ABC 100 10 3.3


Result Sheet

Formula being used

=VLOOKUP(C5,Sheet1!B$1:C$16,2,FALSE) to Match the name and get the value in
column D in Sheet 1


=VLOOKUP(D5,Sheet1!C$1:D$16,2,FALSE) to get the value of Column E in Sheet 1
for the above match.

Hope I explained this correctly.
