Adding quotation marks to each line of cell contents with carriagereturns

[Will]

Hi All,

I am using Excel as an interface to import some process data into a
modelling tool. One of the limitations of the modelling tool is that
any data in the sheet has to be enclosed in quote or speech marks to
import the data.

I have only just discovered this and have a lot of data that has been
imported into the tool which is now unreadable.

Can anyone provide some VBA that will add speech marks i.e. " sample
text " to each line of text in each cell.

Thanks in advance.

Will

each line of text in each cell.

If you mean you might have multiple lines in a cell separated with LineFeeds
try the following. Select cells in a column and ensure there are empy cells
to the right, run the macro.

Sub QuoteEm()
Dim i as Long
Dim va
Dim rCell As Range

For Each rCell In Selection
va = Split(rCell, vbLf)
For i = LBound(va) To UBound(va)
va(i) = Chr(34) & va(i) & Chr(34)
Next
rCell.Offset(, 1) = Join(va, vbLf)
Next

End Sub

Regards,
Peter T

Sub cellquotes()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("A1:A100").Cells
If cell.Value <> "" Then
cell.Value = Chr(34) & cell.Value & Chr(34)
End If
Next
End Sub
