Sandy, I was trying to show Dave how to get an empty cell, not how to
obtain "" in a cell, which is why I said to use 4 sets of double
inverted commas, not 6.

Hopefully that clears the confusion!

Hi Dave,

I was actually replying to "permarbro" who said to use 4 sets of quotes to
get "". I was saying, as you said, I need 6 sets to return ""

But I am confused now as to what it is that you want. When I run your code,
(XL97), I get nothing showing in the cells not "" which is what you said you
get.

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

Instead of = "", you need to write = """"
So there are 4 sets of double inverted commas rather than the usual 2.

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.
