Hello

I generated a macro through the recorder and it generated the following code:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"§ 4,795..............

What does the =_ mean?

Also, is it possible to use multiline text/code for the ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 ?

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
The underscore is used to continue the line on the next line. If you have a line that is very long it can make reading easier if it is continued on the next line.

That's great, so I can use _ to break code lines like that?

some code _
continuing with other code

instead of writing:

some code continuing with other code

?
