To check two sheets in a single file in Vlookup()

[pol]

The following is working that if the same item exist in G7 and in
item.xls(item!)
=IF(COUNTIF([item.xls]item!B:B,G7),VLOOKUP(G7,[item.xls]item!B:L,11,0),0).

But I have to check two sheet Item! and Stock! in item.xls. If the G7
value may exist either in Item1 sheet or in stock! sheet. So please help me
again to incorparate this changes with the existing formula
=IF(COUNTIF([item.xls]item!B:B,G7),VLOOKUP(G7,[item.xls]item!B:L,11,0),0).

=IF(COUNTIF([item.xls]stock!B:B,G7),VLOOKUP(G7,[item.xls]stock!B:L,11,0),0).

You could string it to check in sequence like this, indicatively:
=IF(COUNTIF(1),VLOOKUP(1),IF(COUNTIF(2),VLOOKUP(2),0),0)

A subtle point is the significance of the sequence. Since the IF evaluates
from left to right, if (1) is TRUE, (2) will never get evaluated. You should
place the more "reliable" reference sheet to be (1) within the expression, eg
if the reference sheet: item is better, place it in (1) to be checked ahead
of "stock"
