Default Lookup Data in Several Columns


What formula would I write to lookup a data match from another file that
may be in several columns? Example:

File #A - Contains "RF01" in cell F6
File #B - Contains columns B - G with possible matches but RF01 is in
column C.

=VLOOKUP(F6,STATUS, 2, FALSE)
How do I write a formula to search for my data in columns 1-5 and if it
exists, return a value of "I" instead having to search the exact column?
or could I nest several of the vlookup formulas together for columns B
- G? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Cindy
