Default Vlookup limitation

I have 2290 characters in a cell and need to compare using Vlookup. It throws
#value error. Is there any limitation on the number of characters it can
compare or is there any work around for this?

Default Vlookup limitation

VLOOKUP() appears to stop working at 256 characters.
The work-around would be to make a User Defined Function.
