VLOOKUP and return formula
 

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

Spreadsheet 1

Column A Column B Column C
Equity C ABC123
Muni 912822xd
Moneymkt 8145332x
Option


Spreadsheet 2

Column A Column B Column C Column D
Equity concatenate(B2,"
","EQUITY")
Muni concatenate(C2,"
","GOVT")
Moneymkt 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.
