Try this...

D2 = lookup value = 1234

=INDEX(B2:B9,MATCH(D2,A2:A9,0)+1)

I'm trying to figure out how to retrieve a value 1 row below the value
that
would normally be retrieved with a regular vlookup. As an example below,
using 1234 as my lookup value, column A-B as the table array, column index
=2, and range lookup ="false" I'd like to return the value "5" instead of
"2". Can this be done somehow through an formula?

COL A COL B
Item # Sales
1234 2
5
3
4
2345 6
7
9
