    VLOOKUP part of a text string

    Greetings!!

    Sample rapidshare link -
    https://rapidshare.com/#!download|44...%28a7bc2095%29

    I have a sheet with data as in attachment.

    Using lookup in another excel sheet, i need to get the "49" with reference to "3636363636" of cell part.

    This does not work for data as in above sample =VLOOKUP(C2,[Sheet2.xls]Sheet2!$B$2:$F$8000,5,FALSE), hence referencing part of the link is very neccessary in this case..

    Kindly assist!!

    Best Regards,
    Mahesh

    Not the best idea in the world, posting a spreadsheet with a rapidshare link that contains the phrase "This file is marked as illegal"

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    You don't use lookup for searching in part of a cell you would use =find() or =search()
    If someone helped give them rep using the star button.

    If you have received a satisfactory solution please mark the thread solved. If not Fotis will come for you at night :P
