Hi, hope someone out there can help me with this problem.

I have a simple formula:

=CONCATENATE((MID(A1,4,3)),"_",C1,"_",((IF(MID(A1, 7,1)
"A","Activity","List"))))

and i'd like that formula to be contained in a variable so that i can
use the formula on many worksheets within a workbook.

The problem that i'm coming across is to do with all the quotation
marks. Excel won't let me simply write:

formula1 = CONCATENATE((MID(A1,4,3)),"_",C1,"_",((IF(MID(A1,7 ,1)
"A","Activity","List"))))

Dows anyone have any suggestions about how to overcome this - maybe by
splitting the formula up into smaller components???


any helps greatly apprecieted.
