how to get the format of this cell right?
When I let go:
Selection.Replace " ", Replacement:="-", Lookat:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _ ReplaceFormat:=False " " is entered by means of an array: Words = Array(" ", "+", "/", "---", "--", "&") on a cell containing: 5 a I would expect to get: 5-a as a result. Unfortunately, it produces 5:00:00-AM. How can I solve this tiny but frustrating problem? best regards Peter |
