    EXCEL syntax isue

    Can I use the REPLACE function with a variable value for position?

    What I vant to do is this

    DIM mvar1 As long

    Mvar1=(LEN(B1)-9)

    REPLACE(b1,& mvar1, 1,”,”)


    But can't seem to get the syntax sorted.

    Any suggestions?

    Replace(expression, find, replace, [ start, [ count, [ compare ]]])

    The Replace function syntax has these named arguments:
    Part Description
    expression Required. String expression containing substring to replace.
    find Required. Substring being searched for.
    replace Required. Replacement substring.
    start Optional. Start position for the substring of expression to be searched and returned. If omitted, 1 is assumed.
    count Optional. Number of substring substitutions to perform. If omitted, the default value is -1, which means, make all possible substitutions.
    compare Optional. Numeric value indicating the kind of comparison to use when evaluating substrings. See Settings section for values.

    So in ...

    REPLACE(b1,& mvar1, 1,”,”)
    

    ... you might want ....

    Actually, I can't guess as to what you want. Might be best to add an example
