Lookup and copy not working

I have the macro below that works with ordinary text strings, but will not work with the lists of URLs I have. Is this because of special characters?

The code:

  1. Looks up a URL in column B in Sheet2
  2. Finds the matching URL in column B in Sheet1
  3. Copies cells in cols C to D in row in Sheet1 with the matching URL
  4. Pastes the copied cells into adjacent cells in Sheet2
There are almost 8100 URLs in Sheet1 and there are at least some definite matches in Sheet2, but nothing is returned.

As mentioned, the macro works OK with ordinary text strings, so I am puzzled!

Help very gratefully received!
Code:
Sub Get_PDF_pageviews()


Dim cell        As Range
Dim PDF_URL       As Variant
Dim LastRow     As Long
        
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
    
    With Worksheets("Sheet2")
        
        LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
        
        For Each PDF_URL In Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2:B" & LastRow).Cells
        
            Set cell = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B:B").Find(PDF_URL, , xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, False, False, False)


            If Not cell Is Nothing Then
            
                cell.Offset(, 1).Resize(, 2).Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet2") _
                .Range("B:B").Find(PDF_URL, , xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, False, False, False).Offset(, 1)
                
            End If
                       
        Next PDF_URL

    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Application.EnableEvents = True
            
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
