How can I reference a worksheet name from a cell found from a lookup function?

For example, xlookup searches within worksheet 1, 2, and 3 for value. If value is found in worksheet 3, I want it to return "C", if value is found in worksheet 2, I want it to return "B" and so forth.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
You may need to return sheet name first, in cell, i.e, A1 (or any cell) by input this formula in A1:
Code:
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),SEARCH("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255)
Then point to this cell A1 to get the sheetname.
For example, search "Value" in range A1:Z100 for sheet1, sheet2,...
Code:
=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!A1:Z100,Value),Sheet1!A1,IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:Z100,Value),Sheet2!A1,...

Unfortunately, cell formula doesn't work on 365.

Is there a way to have it work with the online version? or a workaround?

As you have given virtually no information, maybe
Excel Formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(XMATCH(A2,Sheet1!A2:A100)),"A",IF(ISNUMBER(XMATCH(A2,Sheet2!A2:A100)),"B","C"))
