Hi All,

I have the following line of code which should replace all characters including and after the "@" but its just giving the whole value.

Code:
Replace(Application.VLookup(Sheets("Form").Range("C5"), Range("Lookup.Map"), 4, 0), "@*", "")

Can anybody possibly point out my error?

VBA's Replace function doesn't accept wildcards like Excel's Replace method does. You could use Left combined with Instr to return the characters up to the @.
