VBA adding space in concatenate formula

[silentcarl]

How do I add a space in this instance?

.Formula = "=CONCATENATE(RawData!A" & i & "," & " " & ",RawData!B" & i & ")"

I tried & " " & then tried & "" "" &.

The second one gives a compile error: Expected: End of statement.


Thanks!

Try

.Formula = "=CONCATENATE(RawData!A" & i & ","" """ & ",RawData!B" & i & ")"

Try

.Formula = "=CONCATENATE(RawData!A" & i & ","" """ & ",RawData!B" & i & ")"

Life saver. Thank you. I will mark it solved in a few. BUT, can you please help me with this next one?

.Formula = "=IF(RawData!D" & 1 + (i + 3) / 6 & "="","",RawData!D" & 1 + (i + 3) / 6 & ")"

returns:

=IF(RawData!D2=",",RawData!D2)

But I need:

=IF(RawData!D2="","",RawData!D2)

solved:

.Formula = "=IF(RawData!D" & 1 + (i + 3) / 6 & "="""","""",RawData!D" & 1 + (i + 3) / 6 & ")"

in this case maybe you have to be observant in reading comma punctuation and double quotes, I think you understand now

As you have found, breaking up a formula like that to introduce variables can easily lead to confusion/errors.
I find the following method generally leads to less of both

.Formula = Replace("=CONCATENATE(RawData!A#,"" "",RawData!B#)", "#", i)

The blue part looks just like the actual formula that will be in the cell, apart from doubling up the quote marks and the # being a place-holder for the variable you want to insert.
Then the red part simply drops the variable value in where it is required.

For your second example it would look like this. Note that it also means that calculation of row number based on the variable i only needs to be done once.

.Formula = Replace("=IF(RawData!D#="""","""",RawData!D#)", "#", 1 + (i + 3) / 6)
