You can't. VLOOKUP can search only on one sheet.

_ASSUMPTIONS:_

1) You have 5 lookup tables

2) Each table is located in a different sheet

3) On each sheet, A1:B100 contains your lookup table


_FORMULA:_

1) If Column B of your lookup tables contains numerical values...

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&A1:A5&"'!A1:A100"), B1,INDIRECT("'"&A1:A5&"'!B1:B100")))

2) If Column B of your lookup tables contains text (or numerical)
values...

=VLOOKUP(B1,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(A1:A5,MATCH(TRUE,CO UNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&A1:A5&"'!A1:A100"),B1)0,0))&"' !A1:B100"),2,0)

...confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER.

For both formulas, A1:A5 contains a list of sheet names, and B1
contains the lookup value.

Hope this helps!
