I have 9 worksheets and i would like to Vlookup across all the sheet and return a value from any sheet it finds a value. The range is same for all the sheets.

I think there can be a UDF function created but i am not too familiar with VBA.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
I tried that but its giving me an error.

Could you post a small example of 2 or 3 sheets like this:

<b>Excel 2007</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px" style="background-color: #E0E0F0" /><col /><col /></colgroup><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th></th><th>A</th><th>B</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">1</td><td style=";">Test1</td><td style="text-align: right;;">1</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">2</td><td style=";">Test4</td><td style="text-align: right;;">4</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">3</td><td style=";">Test7</td><td style="text-align: right;;">7</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">4</td><td style=";">Test10</td><td style="text-align: right;;">10</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">5</td><td style=";">Test13</td><td style="text-align: right;;">13</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">6</td><td style=";">Test16</td><td style="text-align: right;;">16</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">7</td><td style=";">Test19</td><td style="text-align: right;;">5</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">8</td><td style="text-align: right;;"></td><td style="text-align: right;;"></td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">9</td><td style=";">********</td><td style=";">********</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="width:3.6em;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:0.2em 0.6em 0.2em 0.5em;border: 1px solid #A6AAB6;border-top:none;text-align: center;background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">Master</p><br /><br /><table width="85%" cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";border: 2px solid black;border-collapse:collapse;padding: 0.4em;background-color: #FFFFFF" ><tr><td style="padding:6px" ><b>Worksheet Formulas</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" width="100%" rules="all" style="border: 1px solid;text-align:center;background-color: #FFFFFF;border-collapse: collapse;

Try this code (I did a small modification):

Code:
Function VLOOKAllSheets( _
    Look_Value As Variant, _
    Tble_Array As Range, _
    Col_num As Integer, _
    Optional Range_look As Boolean)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Written by OzGrid.com
'Use VLOOKUP to Look across ALL Worksheets and stops _
'at the first match found.
[COLOR=blue]'With a small modification by Markmzz[/COLOR]
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    Dim wSheet As Worksheet
    Dim vFound
 
    [COLOR=blue]Application.Volatile True[/COLOR]
 
    On Error Resume Next
    For Each wSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        [COLOR=blue]If wSheet.Name <> "Master" Then[/COLOR]
            With wSheet
            Set Tble_Array = .Range(Tble_Array.Address)
 
                vFound = WorksheetFunction.VLookup _
                (Look_Value, Tble_Array, _
                Col_num, Range_look)
            End With
            If Not IsEmpty(vFound) Then Exit For
       [COLOR=blue]End If[/COLOR]
    Next wSheet
    Set Tble_Array = Nothing
    VLOOKAllSheets = vFound
End Function

Re: Vlookup Across Multiple Sheets in an External File

This is a great function. But can you do the all sheet lookup on an external file?

Thanks, Andy

Watchouse,

Sorry, but I don't know how to do that.

Lets wait for another user.

Re: Vlookup Across Multiple Sheets in an External File

Is it possible to look on all sheets except the one you have the formula on?

Thanks
