[FONT=&quot]Hi,

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]vba stops when trying to insert formula to a cell with string variable that have apostrophe in it[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In this formula[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC7="""","""",IF('[" & TKNAME & "]aaa'!R[-3]C[18]="""","""",'[<wbr style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">" & TKNAME & "]aaa'!R[-3]C[18]))"[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]when TKNAME does not apostrophe in it t then he formula is inserted to the cell with no problem ( for example TKNAME=ABC)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]but if TKNAME has apostrophe in it then vba stops and does not insert the formula ( for example TKNAME=ABC'[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thank you!

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).

Please can you post a link to the thread in the other forum as per the forum rules so we don't duplicate the answers and waste time on solutions that don't work.

Can you post what the formula in the cell would be with the ABC' hard coded manually as that as far as I can see would be an illegal formula.

Hi & welcome to the board
how about
Code:
If Right(TKNAME, 1) = "'" Then TKNAME = Left(TKNAME, Len(TKNAME) - 1)
