I am trying to insert a formula into a cell and trying to use a dynamic cell reference by using ActiveCell.Row.
Range("Q" & ActiveCell.Row).Formula = "=IF(Range(""P"" & ActiveCell.Row).Address ="""",""DD/MM/YYY"",CONCATENATE(NETWORKDAYS(O21,P21),"" Working Days""))"
But I am getting an application defined error.
Please can someone show me where I am going wrong? Thanks
Range("Q" & ActiveCell.Row).Formula = "=IF(" & Range("P" & ActiveCell.Row).Address & " ="""",""DD/MM/YYY"",CONCATENATE(NETWORKDAYS(O21,P21),"" Working Days""))"
You have to comment out the VBA code in the string.

I have the goal to write a formula in a set of rows. Some references in the formula have to change each row.
I implemented the following script:
Dim i As Integer
Dim formcolM As String
Dim temprng As String
For i = 0 To 100
formcolM = "NUMBERVALUE(IF(Q" & i & "=""Bedarf kum."";A" & i & ";IF(Q" & i & "=""Ist"";OFFSET(A" & i & ";-1;0);IF(Q" & i & "=""Lz."";OFFSET(A" & i & ";-2;0);IF(Q" & i & "=""Ist+Lz.-Bedarf"";OFFSET(A" & i & ";-3;0);)))))"
Let temprng = "M" & i
Range(temprng).Select
ActiveCell.Value = "\=" & formcolM
next i
With this script I am writing a string each row in my excel table at column M.
I noticed that if the formula hasn't the symbol "\" , you can find an error .
In order to avoid the error I thought to leave the symbol "\" and to use a trick deleting it after (because I don't know how to solve with R1C1 formula. I read some answers on Stackoverflow, but unfortunately I did not understand )
The replacing script after the for cycle:
Columns("M:M").Replace What:="\=", Replacement:="=", LookAt:=xlPart
The strange thing is that the macro doesn't delete it.
Infact when the script finishes , it seems that nothing happened, without errors. But if I want substitute "\=" with another symbol, for example "*", the replacing script works.
I did not understand if the problem is :
the replace method did not recognized the symbol "=" to search
I cannot use the replace method because the symbol "=" disturbs in some way , I don't know in what.
OR, is there another simplest way to get this task done?
Someone could help me in order to fix? I should have the formula working in the column M , automatically with vba (not with another formula in the excel sheet) .
Thanks in advance for your time.
We can apply the formula directly. The issue is that vba is very US-EN Centric and all formula when using the .Formula needs to be in that format.
Also since your formula refers to values in a row 3 above the one in which it is put we need to start the loop at 4 not 0. There is no row 0
There are two ways, in US-En format with English functions and , as the deliminator using .Formula:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 4 To 100
Range("M" & i).Formula = "=NUMBERVALUE(IF(Q" & i & "=""Bedarf kum."",A" & i & ",IF(Q" & i & "=""Ist"",OFFSET(A" & i & ",-1,0),IF(Q" & i & "=""Lz."",OFFSET(A" & i & ",-2,0),IF(Q" & i & "=""Ist+Lz.-Bedarf"",OFFSET(A" & i & ",-3,0),)))))"
Next i
Or using .FormulaLocal and the formula as you would write it in your native tongue.
Dim i As Integer
For i = 4 To 100
Range("M" & i).FormulaLocal = "=NUMERO.VALORE(SE(Q" & i & "=""Bedarf kum."";A" & i & ";SE(Q" & i & "=""Ist"";SCARTO(A" & i & ";-1;0);SE(Q" & i & "=""Lz."";SCARTO(A" & i & ";-2;0);SE(Q" & i & "=""Ist+Lz.-Bedarf"";SCARTO(A" & i & ";-3;0);)))))"
Next i
By the time I got this worked out, Scott already had an answer. I just wanted to post your original code modified to work. I would suggest his method.
Sub TestScript()
Dim i As Integer
Dim formcolM As String
Dim temprng As String
For i = 4 To 100
formcolM = "NUMBERVALUE(IF(Q" & i & "=" & "Bedarf kum." & ";A" & i & ";IF(Q" & i & "=" & "Ist" & ";OFFSET(A" & i & ";-1;0);IF(Q" & i & "=" & "Lz." & ";OFFSET(A" & i & ";-2;0);IF(Q" & i & "=" & "Ist+Lz.-Bedarf" & ";OFFSET(A" & i & ";-3;0);)))))"
temprng = "M" & i
Sheets("Sheet1").Range(temprng).Select
ActiveCell.Value = " = " & formcolM
Next i
End Sub
I would like to copy these special cells to a destination, while keeping the destination's formatting. I'm thinking I have to put .values somewhere in the lines. The code is as follows:
GRBReportSheet.Range("C" & GRBReportSheetFR & ":E" & GRBReportSheetLR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=GRB.Range("C30")
GRBReportSheet.Range("F" & GRBReportSheetFR & ":J" & GRBReportSheetLR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=GRB.Range("H30")
Thank you in advance for your time!
Try this.
GRBReportSheet.Range("C" & GRBReportSheetFR & ":E" & GRBReportSheetLR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy
GRB.Range("C30").PasteSpecial xlValues
GRBReportSheet.Range("F" & GRBReportSheetFR & ":J" & GRBReportSheetLR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy
GRB.Range("H30").PasteSpecial xlValues
I'm trying to get a macro to type out a heap of formulae for me. The formula goes something like this:
=COUNTIF('other_sheet'!A:A,"hello*")
The user can specify A and other_sheet, so I select the cell and then go
ActiveCell.Value = "=COUNTIF('" & othercell & "'!" & column & ":" & _
column & """,hello*"")"
But it keeps giving me errors like:
1004: Object Defined Error
I have tried using ActiveCell.Text, ActiveCell.Formula etc. and they all don't work.
It needs to be ActiveCell.Formula and ", is the wrong way around next to Hello. It should be:
ActiveCell.Formula= "=COUNTIF('" & othercell & "'!" & column _
& ":" & column & ",""hello*"")"
Apparently you can only put proper, completed answers into a cell.
i.e. if the output turns out to be "=sum(A:A" and a bracket isn't closed, then the application throws an error just as if you typed it in manually.
I'm trying to apply a big nested formula to a range using the code below. Basically, if the value in cell A of the active row exists in the column A of another workbook and if the cell in column E of the active row is not empty, I want the active cell to display the cells to display the value of the equivalent cell in a separate workbook.
This needs to be applied to several worksheets so I'm using the variables lrow (which is an int with the last row of the active worksheet in workbook#1) and tlrow (which is an int equal to the last row of the active worksheet in workbook#2). When I step through the sub, these variables both return the numbers I would expect them to.
Likewise, this is inside of a for loop so I also use Worksheets(i).Name where I is an int.
When I run the code, I get the run-time error "'1004': Application-defined or object-defined error".
I'm assuming it's a syntax issue.
Code:
Range("B15:B" & lrow).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(OR(RC1="""",RC5=""""),"""",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(RC1,'[temp.xlsx]" & _
Worksheets(i).Name & _
"'!A15:D" & tlrow & ",3,FALSE)),""0"",VLOOKUP(RC1,'[temp.xlsx]" & _
Worksheets(i).Name & "'!A15:D" & tlrow & ",3,FALSE))))"
Try using this:
Range("B15:B" & lrow).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(OR(RC1="""",RC5=""""),"""",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(RC1," & _
Worksheets(i).Range("A1:D" & lrow).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1, External:=True) & _
",3,FALSE)),""0"",VLOOKUP(RC1," & _
Worksheets(i)..Range("A1:D" & tlrow).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1, External:=True) & _
",3,FALSE)))"
What version of Excel are you running? In more recent versions you can use the Iferror function in this formula to really chop down the size.
It would be something like this:
Range("B15:B" & lrow).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(OR(RC1="""",RC5=""""),"""",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC1," & " & Worksheets(i).Range("A1:D" & _
tlrow).Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlR1C1, External:=True) & ",3,0),""0"")"
Thanks for your help. I was able to resolve the problem by defining my vlookup range in a Range variable and then inputting the variable name in L42's equation in place of
worksheets(i).Range("A1:D" & lrow)
Really apprecaite the responses! Thanks again.
I need to be able to pass a dynamic cell reference into a formula in a cell and need to use VBA to do it.
i = 2
If I need to reference B2 I'd do the following:
formula = "= "B" & i"
But that doesn't work.
How do I do this?
Thanks.
Edit:
Sheets(v).Range("K" & 2).Formula = "=networkdays(b" & i & ", today())"
That's my code
You don't need to quote "B":
.Formula = "=B" & i
There are other ways, such as:
.Formula = "=" & Cells(i, "B").Address(False, False)
The OP changed the question:
.formula = "=networkdays(b" & I & ",today())"
