问题
I am trying to get VLOOKUP to return a value based on a partial string. So I want to say: look up this string, look in the list and if you find a partial string matching it, return the date next to it. But not having much luck. In my example, B2 should show: April 9th as the first bit of the string in D2 matches.

Use:
=VLOOKUP(MID(A2,1,FIND(" ",A2,FIND(" ",A2)+1)-1),$D$2:$E$4,2,FALSE)
Results:

Try this one... Will help you
=VLOOKUP(LEFT(A3,FIND(" ",A3,FIND(" ",A3)+1)-1),$D$3:$E$5,2,0)

Or you can do the other way around and use combination of INDEX and MATCH (with wildcard match) - look at the picture:
=INDEX($D$1:$E$4,MATCH(D2&"*",$A$2:$A$4,0)+1,2)
INDEX MATCH example
Advantage is of this is that you do not assume a given pattern of your values. So it does not matter whether it is SPXL APR19 59P or SPXL APR19_____59P.
You can also use the asterisk on both sides "*"&[]&"*", so then you'll do an inside search.
