Entering '=' as the first character in a cell

Question

I have a VBA macro that runs and often needs to have \"=\" as the first character in a cell. Cells are filled with such values as \"= Domestic\", \"<> Domestic\", etc.

Answer 1

Add a single quote ' at the start of the string:

Cells(row, col).Value = "'" & x

and you will get what you want.
