Hello, I've been finally on a roll with my project, but now I've run into a speedbump. The following is quite useful in my Vlookup. However, now the variable I need will fall with a range. I just need the variable match with what you see below the macro. Is there way I can do this without listing one very large range. In other words do I have to list each and every possibility in its own cell?"

VBA Code:
Sub Domestic_Ops()
      Dim i As Long, n As Variant, v As Variant
  If InStr(Range("H8"), "Domestic Ops") > 0 Then 'Only if Domestic Ops is in cell
    For i = 6 To Split(Worksheets("MSN Decoder").UsedRange.Address, "$")(4)

        n = Mid(Worksheets("MSN Decoder").Cells(i, "K").Value, 5, 5) ''' Extracts the 5-9 Character Position

          v = Application.VLookup(n, Worksheets("Domestic Ops").Range("A:B"), 2, 0)

        If IsError(v) Then v = Application.VLookup(Val(n), Worksheets("Domestic Ops").Range("A:B"), 2, 0)

        If Not IsError(v) Then Worksheets("MSN Decoder").Cells(i + 12, "H").Value = v
    Next i
End If
End Sub


In my 12 alpha numeric text the code will identify characters 5-9.
Below would be on Worksheet Domestic Ops

Column A I hope would be Column B
100AR - 299AR Agriculture

300CD - 499CD Commodities

500XX - 599EL Electronic

Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
You need to clarify your question i don't understand.

What specifically do you see on Column A?
What do you want to see in column B?
