    try this, it might give you extra comma's but shoudl work

    =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,Plan1!A:A,0)),"Sheet1","")&IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,Plan2!A:A,0)),",Sheet2","")&IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,Plan3!A:A,0)),",Sheet3","")&IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,Plan4!A:A,0)),",Sheet4","")&IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,Plan5!A:A,0)),",Sheet5","")

    Hi Marreco,

    DGagnon's solution definitely works and is the most pertinent one, however I was thinking if you had more no of Sheets then you will have to write those many nested IF condition to capture for every Sheet considered..

    I am trying to get this for Multiple SHeets. but in vain..
