Do until loop doesn't work with complex reference formula ?

[szakharov7723]

So generally I am trying to make my text formula work, but as many other methods, this one doesn't work for some reason.

=IFERROR('K:\PLANING\Apr\[Thu, Apr 11.xlsb]Millright data'!B7+'K:\PLANING\Apr\[Thu, Apr 11_2.xlsb]Millright data'!B7,'K:\PLANING\Apr\[Thu, Apr 11.xlsb]Millright data'!B7

This formula is text form, hence it doesn't work, until you change something within it.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
i = 97


Do Until i > 374
    Cells(i, 3).Replace What:="=", Replacement:="="
    i = i + 1
Loop
End Sub

So this code works fine for everything, but my formula. It works fine with making basic text reference formula into real one, it works fine with changing signs like =,+,- e.t.c

No need to do all that. Just do a "Text to Columns" on that column.
If you want to do that in VBA, just use:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Columns("C:C").TextToColumns Destination:=Range("C1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
        :=Array(1, 1), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
End Sub

It uses no loops, so will be faster/more efficient.

Thank you response. It doesn't seem to work. I tried both code and text to columns button.
Tbh, I am not well aware of text to columns, so maybe I am doing something wrong, but all it does is separate my formula

but all it does is separate my formula

It shouldn't, unless you are using Spaces for Delimiters or choosing Fixed Width.

Did you try my code, exactly as I posted it?
That uses the Tab as a delimiter. As long as your formula does not have any tabs in it, it should not separate your formula.

Yep, I tried it exactly the way it is. While it did change one experiment formula, it didn't work with mine.
However, I indeed had Fixed chosen. Once I got rid of it, it did work.
Thank you a lot. I have been trying to resolve this issue for weeks !

Odd, my code specifically declares Delimited, not Fixed Width.

DataType:=xlDelimited

So if you copied and pasted exactly what I had posted, I don't see how that wouldn't work.

Regardless, I am glad you got it to work.
