Match method always returns false (comparing cell's value to a list)

Hello everyone,

Here is my situation. I have in my program :
- a list of values of any kind (numbers, strings, etc.) in my column C (most specifically : "C2:C16")
- a list with names of cities (in "G21:G25")

I want to create a sub to compare each content from my column C ("C2:C16") with each string from ("G21:G25"). If there is a match, I want to write the value "10" to the corresponding row of the active cell but in the column G, if no match, then it will write 0.

So for example, if C8 content is "Paris" and "Paris" is also among G21:G25, then G8 is gonna be 10.
If C9 content is "1889" and there is no such value among G21:G25, then G9 is gonna be 0.

Here is my code and problem. So the problem is, it's always returning "false" even if there are some matches between my C list and my G list. I guess one problem might come from IsNumeric (because not every content is numeric) but I tried IsObject, IsArray, whatever was suggested and it always returns false.

There's nothing wrong with your vb code. The cities in the city list have some ending spaces so the match returns false. I don't know where the list is coming from but the TRIM function may help. Also your calculation for the length of the word is off.
To extract word I modified your formula to:
