hello,

I'm trying to enter in a search formula in vba, but i'm having troubl
with the syntax because i'm using 2 sets of parentheses.

Range("A1").Formula = "=SEARCH(" ",B1,1)"

there is a problem because i want to search for the first space in
sentence, but in the editor, it is recognizing the first two set o
parentheses and then the second set, expecting me to concatenate th
two strings. how can i fix this? Thank

HI

where you have Double Quote marks in your formula just use
"" Instead of "

so your example would become

Range("A1").Formula = "=SEARCH("" "",B1,1)"
