You have to double the double quotes within the double quotes.
strg = "=ISNA(MATCH(A9,INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($A$2,"" "","""")),0))"

Hello,

I got an error message from following string variable declaration:

dim strg as string
strg = "=ISNA(MATCH(A9,INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($A$2," ","")),0))"

error message "expected: end of statement"

It passed the compiler if I removed all " from substitute function.
Will appreciate for any help!
