Default Double Quotes

Ed

Everytime you have a double quote inside your string, change it to two
double quotes.

="This ""text"" in quotes"

="This " & Chr(34) & "text" & Chr(34) & " in quotes"

both produce

This "text" in quotes

I'm trying to write a formula into a cell using VBA. The
formula has quotes in it and this is causing me
problems. Can anyone convert the below 'formula' into
VBA code so that it will work?

activecell.formulaArray =

"SUM(IF('Data from Prc Qry'!$G$2:$G$15000=J$1,IF('Data
from Prc Qry'!$E$2:$E$15000=$A2,'Data from Prc Qry'!
$K$2:$K$15000,0),0))/COUNTIF('Data from Prc Qry'!
$A$2:$A$15000,$A2&" "&TEXT(J$1,"mm/dd/yyyy"))"

You might notice that this is an array formula - will
this use of double quotes still work as such?
