How can I URL encode a string in Excel VBA?

Question

Is there a built-in way to URL encode a string in Excel VBA or do I need to hand roll this functionality?

Answer 1

For the sake of bringing this up to date, since Excel 2013 there is now a built-in way of encoding URLs using the worksheet function ENCODEURL.

To use it in your VBA code you just need to call

EncodedUrl = WorksheetFunction.EncodeUrl(InputString)
