Adding text to a cell in Excel using VBA

Question

I\'ve been working with SQL and Excel Macros, but I don\'t know how to add text to a cell.

I wish to add the text \"01/01/13 00:00\" to cell A1

Answer 1

Range("$A$1").Value = "'01/01/13 00:00" will do it.

Note the single quote; this will defeat automatic conversion to a number type. But is that what you really want? An alternative would be to format the cell to take a date-time value. Then drop the single quote from the string.
