Have you looked at the result? To represent a " symbol within a string
(delimited by a pair of " symbols), you need to double up the " symbol, but your substitution will result in one " in place the %20. -- David Biddulph "gcelis81" wrote in message ...

What is wrong with your result? If D3 contains a string which contains %20 then your corrected formula will substitute one double quote for the %20. What, exactly, is in D3? What, exactly do you want for a result? In Excel, when you are quoting quotes, you must double the interior quotes. --ron |
