As in so many cases, the answer is in the Excel Help for the function you
are trying to use. Look at the paragraph headed "Important".

Default using the lookup function

Dave,

I'm trying to use a lookup function to return some data. Unfortunately, the
data being looked up can occur in 1 to 5 character long. how do this lookup
without doing a find and replace on the first "-" (which is where i want to
stop my lookup) with 5 to 10 spaces? Then doing the lookup that way...
There's got to be a better way

to do?
