Default Comparing a range of values against a cell

Hello Guys,

This code kills me at the moment. I've already realized that working with
ranges etc, can be quite cumbersome and tricky:

Function VBCode(vCode As String, Jobtime As Single, Roster As Single) As
Single
Dim cell As Variant
Set cRange = Worksheets("CODE").range("CodeNorm")
For Each cell In cRange
If cell = vCode Then
VBCode = Jobtime / 5
Else
VBCode = ""
End If
Next cell
End Function

The range "CodeNorm" are just short strings.

The crazy thing is that when i use this function in a cell, it keeps giving
me a "a value in the cell has a incorrect datatype". When i put a breakpoint
at "If cell = vCode then", I can see they all contain the actual string
values I need for this to work. So i'm kinda lost here, I don't know why this
doesn't work as it needs to be...

Anyone can easily recreate this by creating some string items like "ADV,
TOP, BUJ", etc... in a few adjacent cells, make it a named range "CodeNorm",
create the above function in a module, and try the function in a cell.

Anyone knows why this doesn't work?

Thanks in advance guys.
