I would expect this to work:

Sub hhh()
Dim res As Variant
Dim stringVar As String
res = Application.Index(Range("sheet1!C1:HE586"), _
Application.Match(Range("sheet2!A1"), _
Range("sheet1!C1:C1000"), 0), Application.Match( _
Range("sheet2!K9"), Range("sheet1!C1:FC1"), 0))
If Not IsError(res) Then
stringVar = res
MsgBox stringVar
Else
MsgBox "Not found"
End If
End Sub

Using application.match allows you to test the result with IsError -
otherwise, using worksheetfunction causes a trappable error and this must be
handled.

Also not that the arguments must be passed as valid VBA ranges where you are
using ranges.

The following formula works like a charm as a formula in sheet1.

stringvar = =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(sheet1!C1:HE58 6,MATCH('sheet2'!A1,sheet1!C1:C1000,0),MATCH('shee t2'!K9,sheet1!C1:FC1,0))

Try to use it in my macro and compile error states:

"Expected: line separator or )" and highlights the first colon at
":HE586,"

Are Index and Match valid forumulas to use in VBA?
I know the syntax is straight from excel built-in functions. Isn't that
what Application.WorksheetFunction demands?

Thanks
