Default Using VLOOKUP to locate an answer in one of multiple columns

I am using the following formula to get an answer from a single column of a
spreadsheet (column 2) =VLOOKUP(B3,Master!$R$3:$AP$4180,2,FALSE)

Would you please tell me how I should modify the formula to look in more
than one column for the appropriate answer? (i.e. look in columns #2, #9, and
#22)

If possible I would also like the formula to make the answer cell blank if
it is unable to locate an appropriate answer.

Thanks.

Note: I also posted this question in the Applications Errors section by
accident... sorry
