i need to know what will be the formula for refering 3 spreadsheets in Vlookup?

VLOOKUP both the lookup range and the return range are together on the
same sheet.

LOOKUP can do what you want, but your lookup range MUST be sorted in
ascending order to work.

=LOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!B1:B5,Sheet3!C5:C9)

Note, even though the lookup range and the return range are on separate
sheets, they HAVE to be exactly the same size, too, in the example 5
cells.

Assume Sheet2, Sheet3 & Sheet4 (identically structured)
contain the vlookup reference table in cols A & B

Assume you want to vlookup the 3 sheets in this sequence:
Sheet2 first, then Sheet3, then Sheet4

In Sheet1,
you have the lookup values in A2 down
You could put this in B2 (all in one cell, decomposed for clarity):
=
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,0)),
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet3!A:B,2,0)),
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet4!A:B,2,0)),"",
VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet4!A:B,2,0)),
VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet3!A:B,2,0)),
VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,0))
