I assume you are assigning a lookup value to a variable. Use something like:

variable = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(LookupValue, LookupRange, IndexNumber, 0)

To assign a lookup value to the variable named "variable". Where "LookupValue" is the value you are looking up, "LookupRange" is the range of data you are looking in to, "IndexNumber" is the number of columns over from a match, and "0" indicates an exact match is required.

Does this help you out?
