Run-time Error Using Formula From Workbook Variable - vba

I am using Vlookup formula from another workbook in my code. The other workbook named as a variable TifuliWB Workbook but I keep getting an error run time error 1004. I am sure that it's such a small mistake of mine that stops the sub but I can't know what.
With MainWB.Worksheets(2)
LR = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("J2:J" & LR).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-8]," '"[" & TifuliWB.Worksheets(1) & "]"'"!C1:C71,65,FALSE)"
.Range("J2:J" & LR).NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
.Cells.Copy
End With

Try referencing the columns' full external address instead of concatenating in the workbook and worksheet name.
.Range("J2:J" & LR).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-8]," & TifuliWB.Worksheets(1).range("A:BS").address(1, 1, external:=true, referencestyle:=xlr1c1) & ",65,FALSE)"
'alternately in xlA1 style
.Range("J2:J" & LR).Formula = _
"=VLOOKUP(J2," & TifuliWB.Worksheets(1).range("A:BS").address(1, 1, external:=true) & ",65,FALSE)"
Your original should have used the .Name or .FullName property and there were some string concatenation issues.
.Range("J2:J" & LR).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-8], '[" & TifuliWB.fullname & "]" & TifuliWB.Worksheets(1).name & "'!C1:C71,65,FALSE)"

Vlookup with Integer Variables

I am trying to do a Vlookup in my code and I have few integer variables. It gives me the error:
Run-time Error 1004
The code stops in the line of vlookup. All the variables have values. If someone can see where the problem, please let me know.
'Employees
empWS.Range("D1:G" & empLR).Copy
With tmpWB.Worksheets(2)
.Cells(1, 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.Range("$A$1:$D$" & empLR).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=1
.Range("A2:D" & empLR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
.ShowAllData
empLR = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Columns(1).Delete
.Range("D1").Value = "start date"
.Range("D2:D" & empLR).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],SAP!R1C1:R " & SLRow & " C70, StartColumn,0)" 'it stops here
.Columns("A:D").AutoFit
End With
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],SAP!R1C1:R " & SLRow & " C70," & StartColumn & ",0)"
You need to put startcolumn outside the speech marks
EDIT
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],SAP!R1C1:R" & SLRow & " C70," & StartColumn & ",0)"
(Patrick Honorez spotted that there was an extra space after R in the first bit)
Try removing extra spaces:
.Range("D2:D" & empLR).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-3],SAP!R1C1:R" & SLRow & "C70, StartColumn,0)"
Space in a range address is an intersection operator.

How to apply vlookup on the different workbook range?

I am trying to apply VLOOKUP to get the data from a workbook named LPDwith sheet RAS(Offshore) having my lookup range. I want to look for the column A which is present in a different workbook named fresher with sheet as DestSh.So I want the results after applying VLOOKUP in the sheet DestSh in column z.
I have tried
iSCount = 2
For Each cell In DestSh.Range("Z2:Z" & lstRowofIpSheet)
With DestSh
sFormula = "=VLOOKUP(DestSh!$A" & iSCount & ",'" & sLPDFileName & "]RAS(Offshore)'!$B:$F,5,false)"
.Range("Z" & iSCount).Formula = sFormula
iSCount = iSCount + 1
End With
Next cell
But I am getting the error as: Application defined or Object defined error.
Any help or suggestions shall be highly appreciated.
In this line:
sFormula = "=VLOOKUP(DestSh!$A" & iSCount & _
",'" & sLPDFileName & "]RAS(Offshore)'!$B:$F,5,false)"
Missing an opening square bracket:
sFormula = "=VLOOKUP(DestSh!$A" & iSCount & _
",'[" & sLPDFileName & "]RAS(Offshore)'!$B:$F,5,false)"

Using variable worksheet as formula destination in vba

I am writing a fairly complicated macro, but the problem I am having is creating a formula on one sheet, in the code "Input_Sheet", to equate itself to a cell in a newly created worksheet, variably set as "ws". Each iteration of ws is named, so that's not an issue. I figured the correct way to do it was:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " & ws.name & !R[" & totalRowCounter & "]C[" & totalColumnCounter & "]"
(Don't worry about the totalRowCounter & totalColumnCounter variables, they are defined appropriately). I just don't know why the formula isn't appropriately referencing the new ws sheet. Any thoughts?
You just need to take your ws.name out of the quotes, also adding an apostrophe before and after the sheet name will help with any sheets that may have a space in the name:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='" & ws.name & "'!R[" & totalRowCounter & "]C[" & totalColumnCounter & "]"
I think it would be the below:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=" & ws.name & "!R[" & totalRowCounter & "]C[" & totalColumnCounter & "]"

Using String Variable in VBA Formula throwing object/application error

I'm getting an "application-defined or object-defined error" being thrown when I try to set a cell in my active sheet to a formula. I think its due to me trying to use the Sheets.Name function in the formula, see code below:
Public Sub getChannels()
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim i As Integer, counter As Integer
Dim rng As Range, rngB As Range, rngC As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim test As String
Set sht = Sheets("Summary Sheet - 30-07-2015")
sht.Activate
lastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
For counter = 1 To lastRow Step 3
If ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 12) = "LTE 2C" Then
ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 16) = _
"=INDEX('LTE 2C'!C[55],MATCH(""'"" & sht.name &""'""!RC[-14],'LTE 2C'!C[-11],0))"
ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 17) = _
"=INDEX('LTE 2C'!C[53],MATCH(""'"" & sht.name &""'""!RC[-15],'LTE 2C'!C[-12],0))"
ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 18) = _
"=INDEX('LTE 2C'!C[55],MATCH(""'"" & sht.name &""'""!RC[-16],'LTE 2C'!C[-13],0))"
Range("P" & counter & ":R" & counter).Select
Selection.Copy
Range("P" & counter + 1 & ":P" & counter + 2).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
End Sub
Am I missing something obvious?
Change your formula like this:
ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 16) = _
"=INDEX('LTE 2C'!C[55],MATCH(" & "'" & sht.name & "'" & "!RC[-14],'LTE 2C'!C[-11],0))"
ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 17) = _
"=INDEX('LTE 2C'!C[53],MATCH(" & "'" & sht.name & "'" & "!RC[-15],'LTE 2C'!C[-12],0))"
ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 18) = _
"=INDEX('LTE 2C'!C[55],MATCH(" & "'" & sht.name & "'" & "!RC[-16],'LTE 2C'!C[-13],0))"
Nelly is correct, but another way to do this would be to simply remove the unnecessary extra string for each apostrophe and replace it with this:
ActiveSheet.Cells(counter, 16) = _
"=INDEX('LTE 2C'!C[55],MATCH('" & sht.name & "'!RC[-14],'LTE 2C'!C[-11],0))"
Where the apostrophes are just attached to the strings before and after. It really makes no difference, but it removes the extra (&)s.

Deploy VBA Cell Reference in Array Formula

So I'm trying to do a couple things with this subroutine but can't get VBA to execute the .FormulaArray function.
Create a named range using offset & lastrow function
Use cell references to insert into the array formula
--
Sub namedrange()
Dim firstrow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim ColToLetter, absolute, Title, mc, mc1
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
absolute = ActiveCell.Address
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, ActiveCell.Column).End(xlUp).Row
firstrow = ActiveCell.Row
ColLetter = Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 2, 1)
ActiveSheet.Range(ColLetter & firstrow & ":" & ColLetter & LastRow).Name = Range(ColLetter & "1").Value
Title = Range(ColLetter & "1").Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
mc = ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Address
mc = Mid(mc, 2, 3)
mc1 = Replace(mc, "$", "")
ActiveCell.FormulaArray= "=IF(ROWS(mc & "":"" & mc1)>SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Title<>"""",MATCH(Title,Title,0)),ROW(Title)-ROW(absolute)+1),1)),"""",INDEX(Title,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Title<>"""",MATCH(Title,Title,0)),ROW(Title)-ROW(absolute)+1),ROW(Title)-ROW(absolute)+1),ROWS(mc & "":"" & mc1))))"
End Sub
The formula bar shows what the vba function is outputting, which is not what I want. I don't know why it won't output the references I've created like mc should be "$A$2" not "mc".
Also when I try to execute the FormulaArray code I get a runtime error 1004 "Unable to set the FormulaArray property of the Range class"
Your .FormulaArray content has some typos. Here's how it should look like (assuming all the above code is fine):
ActiveCell.FormulaArray= "=IF(ROWS(" & mc & ":" & mc1 & ")>SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Title<>" & chr(34) & chr(34) & ",MATCH(Title,Title,0)),ROW(Title)-ROW(absolute)+1),1))," & chr(34) & chr(34) & ",INDEX(Title,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Title<>" & chr(34) & chr(34) & ",MATCH(Title,Title,0)),ROW(Title)-ROW(absolute)+1),ROW(Title)-ROW(absolute)+1),ROWS(" & mc & ":" & mc1 & "))))"
In general, remember that if you want the value of a variable to be printed into a string, you cannot write "a=mc+3" but rather a = " & mc & "+3".
