Hi
I have the following code to extract two characters from the left to range A1 to A100 from text in B1 to B100. Please advise where I am wrong in this code
Thanks

Sub extractingleft()


Dim searchrange As Range, c As Range
Set searchrange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("B2:B100")
For Each c In searchrange
d = WorksheetFunction.left(searchrange, 2)
c = searchrange.Offset(0, -1)
c.Value = d
Next c


End S
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Your "Left" function is attempting to look at the entire search range rather than just a single cell. Change this part:

Code:
d = WorksheetFunction.Left(searchrange,2)

To something like this:

Code:
d = WorksheetFunction.Left(c, 2)
