Default correct syntax for LEFT in vba

These two lines of code from Help work fine to return "Alp".



Dim LResult As String

LResult = Left("Alphabet",3)



What's the correct syntax to get my IF - THEN line of code to look at each Celln in range NumToColor and if the Left two characters in Celln = Range("B15") then apply ColorIndex 3.



Dim Celln As Range

Dim NumToColor As Range

Set NumToColor = Range("D14:M23")



For Each Celln In NumToColor

Celln.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

If Left(Celln, 2).Value = Range("B15").Value Then

Celln.Interior.ColorIndex = 3

End If

Next



Thanks.
