VBA Formatting to accounting format












0















I'm trying to get VBA to format a cell in the "accounting" format (in Euro). I have copied the format from the options which shows



_-* #.##0,00 €_-;-* #.##0,00 €_-;_-* "-"?? €_-;_-@_-


When I try to apply this to



.Cells(1, 1).NumberFormat = "_-* #.##0,00 €_-;-* #.##0,00 €_-;_-* " - "?? €_-;_-@_-" 


I get a 400 error. What am I doing wrong?

          Double-up those double quotes (inside a string variable):



          Sub kjdsffh()
          With ActiveSheet
          s = "_-* #.##0,00 €_-;-* #.##0,00 €_-;_-* ""-""?? €_-;_-@_-"
          .Cells(1, 1).NumberFormat = s
          End With
          End Sub
