Hello All,
I am attaching a sample of my problem.
I need to do Vlookup from a Range which has Codes in Col A and Text in Col
B.

I want to have the output required (highlighted in Yellow) on Col D based
on the Answers Col C.

My problem is that the Codes are delimited with ].
I do not want to separate the Answers using Text to Column.

I tried the following and got the desired result if there is only one code
in the Answers Column.
=VLOOKUP(LEFT(C2,FIND("]",C2)-1),RangeCodes,2,0)

As you can see in the attached sheet if there are many Codes combined
together then I cannot get the desired result.



Is there a formula or a UDF which can give me the desired result.

Please note that there are several Columns with the Codes combined.  I have
just used a sample column to demonstrate my problem.

TIA

Rashid Khan
