syntax question
 

Hi XLers

This code fragment works well, resulting in a cell value of, for example,
Teacher

Worksheets("PrintRpt").Range("C1").Formula =
"=INDEX(Job_List!J:J,MATCH(A4,Job_List!A:A,0)) "


But, I want the cell value to be Job Title: Teacher

I know this should be simple, but I can't get the syntax to work?

TQ for any help

Like:

Worksheets("PrintRpt").Range("C1").Formula _
= "=""Job title: "" & INDEX(Job_List!J:J,MATCH(A4,Job_List!A:A,0))"

You have to double up the quotes within the strings.

Gawd, those double quotes are confusing!

I sometimes type the formula in a cell, then copy and paste into the code--and
remember to double them up after I paste.
