So, I used the left function to take the first 4 characters of a string and I need to run a vlookup with it, but it won't find the match because it's looking through numbers.
I want to do this in a macro, so I'm not sure about the syntax. Can someone help?

In order to convert a string to integer in VBA, first, we need to check whether the string can be converted. If not it will return a different string. In order to check whether the string is a numerical value, we will use the ISNUMERIC Function. Then we will use Cint to convert the string to an integer.
Select the cells that have numbers stored as text. On the Home tab, click Paste > Paste Special. Click Multiply, and then click OK. Excel multiplies each cell by 1, and in doing so, converts the text to numbers.
use the val() function

If, for example, x = 5 and is stored as string, you can also just:
x = x + 0
and the new x would be stored as a numeric value.
