Hi Macario -

Sometimes the WordPress editor changes ampersands into the html compatible combination “&”. I haven’t quite figured out the intricacies of this system, which is new for me, but I think if you switch back and forth from the WYSIWYG mode to the HTML mode too frequently you are at increased risk.

Put an ampersand character into the following line where you see [ampersand] (take out the square brackets too). All I am doing is placing parentheses around sXvalue, although it’s probably not necessary.

sFormula = Replace(sFormula, “[X]“, “(” [ampersand] sXvalue [ampersand] “)”)

If you are using Excel 2000 or later, this should work. Excel 97 uses an older version of VBA, which does not recognize ‘Replace’, but you could use WorksheetFunction.Substitute instead, but check its syntax first.

Hi Jon

What does mean amp, in the formula?

sFormula = Replace(sFormula, “[X]“, “(” & sXvalue & “)”)

I get a compile error in these two lines.

Best regards
