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

You could do

[A1].Value = "'O1/01/13 00:00"

if you really mean to add it as text (note the apostrophe as the first character).

The [A1].Value is VBA shorthand for Range("A1").Value.

If you want to enter a date, you could instead do (edited order with thanks to @SiddharthRout):

[A1].NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm;@"
[A1].Value = DateValue("01/01/2013 00:00")
