I have the left 9 characters that I want to Vlookup in a range in VBA, but in the range lookup, I want to only search for any instances where it finds the exact same 9 characters in sequence then return the location of that cell. Can someone help me?

    Thank you for your reply.

    In Sheet1, I have a list of employee position and at the end of those they say, "trainee". In Sheet2, I want to do a vlookup in VBA (since I have a command button associated to this module) to look at the 1st 9 letter in A60 if B60 has a value in it, then make those 9 letters = EE_Pos. Then with Vlookup (EE-Pos, [in this range only match the 1st 9 letters and return the row where the case is true]

    I hope I am more clear on what I'm trying to do.
