MS Excel VBA Unicode cell formatting needed

Asked by propractice in Access Coding/Macros, Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: unicode, excel, vba

I am querying a website which returns data to a new sheet in my MS Excel workbook.
I am placing this data into the sheet via QueryTables.

One column of results from the query returns language names, but the Asian names come back as 8-bit characters instead of the needed double-byte (16-bit characters).

中文(简体)   comes back as    ä¸­æ–‡(简体)

The problem is not in the website query results, but I believe in the placing of this data into the Excel cells.

Is there a way to format the cells to a 16bit Unicode format, prior to inserting the data (or at all), so that the Asian characters show up correctly.

Help would be greatly appreciated.  Ask if you need any more information.

Thanks.Start Free Trial
