Find partial value within larger value for use in xlookup

Hey all,

I have two worksheets.

Worksheet 1 is from my client with their facility name in Column B (such as "Facility A").

Worksheet 2 is generated from my system, which has returned "Parent Corporation: Facility A", along with our Netsuite Internal ID (which I'm trying to return) in Column C.

I'm trying to look up the partial facility name given to me by my client in Worksheet1 against the full name given by my system in Worksheet2, to return Column C.

My attempts are failing miserably. So far I've tried:

=XLOOKUP("*"&B2&"*",Worksheet2!D:D,Worksheet2!C:C,"",0) 

I know this Facility A definitely exists in both worksheets.

What am I doing wrong?
