    Substitute( String, OldString, NewString [, InstanceNumber ] )

    • String - Required. The string to operate on.
    • OldString - Required. The string to replace.
    • NewString - Required. The replacement string. OldString and NewString can have different lengths.
    • InstanceNumber - Optional. Use this argument to specify which instance of OldString to replace if String contains more than one instance. If you don't specify this argument, all instances will be replaced.

    You can use special Char() function in place of writing ".

     

    I believe for " you'd use Char(34) in your Substitute.

     

    On my cell so limited ability to look up the char() chart

    Hi,

    You have to use quotations like this:

     Substitute(
     SourceString,
     """",
     ""
     )
