Problem with Code Below
That is not required. As written it will work fine.
Using Application.WorksheetFunctionMatch raises a trappable error requiring
the additional error handling you describe (when a match is not made).
Using Application.match does not raise such an error and can be tested as
shown in the code.

I think that what you have will work if you...
Replace "application.match"
With "application.worksheetfunction.match"
Also, I would place the statement "On Error Goto Next" after the Dim
statement.

Hi all
Can someone please explain why this isn't working? It is called from a
different Sub marco with What_I_Want being a text string I need to
match. It
should return the value of hte column as well
Function Look_Up_Accross(ByVal What_I_Want)
Dim sStr As String, rng As Range
Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, 256).End(xlToLeft))
res = Application.Match(What_I_Want, rng, 0)
If Not IsError(res) Then
MsgBox "column: " & res
Else
MsgBox "Not found"
End If
Look_Up_Accross = res
End Function
Thanks, Ben H.
