I am trying to write a vlookup that looks in more than one column for the
data, is this possible?


Col a Col b Col c col d
1 a 1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d

How do I get a vlookup or other function to find the "2"?

=vlookup(a10,a1:b4;c1:d4,2,false) where a10=2 doesn't work.


Is this what you mean?

=VLOOKUP(A10,IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A10,A1:A4,0)),A1:B4 ,C1:D4),2,FALSE)
