Does anyone know how to code Excel's CLEAN function within VBA? I've tried numerous different ways, and none have worked.

If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Try something like this.

Hi everyone - I have 'USB in range("A1"), that is atrophy(')&USB and I run the code above it doesn't work. However, if I put '7 in range("A1"), it works. I have been searching overall the web including Searching for Leading Apostrophes (Microsoft Excel) with this code:


For Each c In Selection If c.PrefixCharacter = "'" Then c.Value = c.Value End If Next c

Nothing seems to work for me

The apostrophe just marks the cell as text. There's no need to remove it, but you can do

Code:
With Range("A1")
        .Value = .Formula
End with

Thanks shg. I counted len('USB), it returns 3. I think I will just leave it alone, but it just bugs me visually when I see the (') after I cleaned it.
