You can do it with the custom function below. Call it like normal VLOOKUP
except the following:
1: Put Range indouble quotes
2: Don't use False/True (4th parameter). Function makes it FALSE which is
an exact match

=PAGEVLOOKUP(9,"A1:B4", 2)

Function PageVLOOKUP(lookup_value, _
table_array, col_index_num)

SheetArray = Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", _
"Sheet3", "Sheet4", "Sheet5", "Sheet6", _
"Sheet7", "Sheet8", "Sheet9", "Sheet10")

On Error Resume Next

For Each shname In SheetArray

Set lookuprange = Sheets(shname). _
Range(table_array)


PageVLOOKUP = WorksheetFunction. _
VLookup(lookup_value, _
lookuprange, col_index_num, _
False)
If PageVLOOKUP < "" _
Then Exit Function
Next shname
PageVLOOKUP = "#N/A"
End Function

Yes it is a macro. It simply uses the same function as the worksheet
function but search more than one worksheet. there arre two type of Macro in
excel. Sub (subroutines) and Functions. Functions behave like all the
standard library Functions such a VLOOKUP(), SUM(), etc , but can be written
to perform just about anything you can imagine and more.

To add macro
1) go to Tools Menu - Macro - Visual Basic Editor
2) VBA menu Insert Module
3) Paste code below

Make sure security level is set to medium which will ask you if you want to
run macros when the workbokk is opened.
1) go to worksheet Tools Menu - Macro - Security.
2) Set level to Medium
3) You need to close workbook and re-open if you change the security level
before the macro will run
