    Formatting a piece of the text in the formula box

    I want to use VBA to insert text into a cell. The problem is that I want the inserted text to consist out of one character formatted in calibri, a space bar and then another character (D) formatted Wingdings 3 to make it appear as a double arrow. Is this possible?

    Thank you both! The only issue is that the first value can be 1 or 10000. So basically the number of characters where the wingdings part starts is variable.

    If it's not always the last character, how can it be identified?

    It is always the last character so the code works wonderfully. Thanks again!
