Default return an empty string in VBA

Not sure what you mean in your post. Putting in 6 double quote marks
returns ""

I need 6 sets to return "" ie """ returns "

I was assuming that the OP wanted an empty string as in IF(A1=10,""......

his code returns what I would call an empty string as it is - LEN(A1) is
zero and =ISTEXT(A1) is FALSE

I'm trying to use the following code to return an empty string in a
range of cells if any value in the range is FALSE:


Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each R In Range("A1:A7")
If R.Value = False Then R.Value = ""
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True


The problem is this code returns the actual quote marks "" in the
cells, not an empty string. R is set as a variant.


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks.
