Run excel formula through VBA - vba

I am trying to VLOOKUP some value in 2 sheets and if the value is found then i am putting a hyperlink on the Sheet 1 cell to point it to the Sheet 2 cell.
I have written an Excel formula for the same and it is working fine. But I am unable to convert it into a VBA formula. What am I doing wrong?
Excel formula:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[7],Sheet2!R1C1:R20C1,1,FALSE)),RC[7],HYPERLINK(CELL("address",INDEX(Sheet2!R1C1:R20C1,MATCH(RC[7],Sheet2!R1C1:R20C1,0))),RC[7]))
VBA formula which i have tried:
Sheets(4).Formula = "= IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[7],Sheet2!R4C2:R" & Lrow2 & "C2,1,FALSE)),RC[7],HYPERLINK(CELL(" & """address""" & ",INDEX(Sheet2!R4C2:" & "R" & Lrow2 & "C2,MATCH(RC[7],Sheet2!R4C2:" & "R" & Lrow2 & "C2,0))),RC[7]))"
P.S.: Do not worry about the row and column indexes. I wrote the formula for test file and writing the vba for the master file.

Just a minor mistake you've done.
Sheets(4).Formula = "" represents the formula applied on sheet4.Logically sheet 4 has almost million rows. Where will the formula sit?
Sheet(4).cells(row, column).Formula = ""
Here is one example i have just wrote few min back for sumif
shPivotAdjustmentsIRSPV.Cells(NumRows, NumColumns + 1).Formula =
"=Sum(" & shPivotAdjustmentsIRSPV.Cells(3, NumColumns + 1).Address &
":" & shPivotAdjustmentsIRSPV.Cells(NumRows - 2, NumColumns +
1).Address & ")"

In addition to a range, you need to use the .FormulaR1C1 property if you are going to use R1C1 references:
Sheets(4).Range("A7").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[7],Sheet2!R4C2:R" & Lrow2 & "C2,1,FALSE)),RC[7],HYPERLINK(CELL(""address"",INDEX(Sheet2!R4C2:R" & Lrow2 & "C2,MATCH(RC[7],Sheet2!R4C2:R" & Lrow2 & "C2,0))),RC[7]))"

Automated tool for VLOOK UP

I need to perform many VLookup in a set of excel files, and for that I built a tool that can make automated VLookup from a file to another but I need to be make it scalable and adaptable.
For that, I want to input in some cells of the tool (which is an Excel file) the parameters for the VLookup:
Position of Key Column
Position of "Returned Value" Column
Number of Columns in the range
Do you know how to change my tool in order for it to include these entry parameters ?
a sample of the code here:
For myrow = 3 To lastrow
Range("b" & myrow).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1], Input!C[-1]:C[2],2,FALSE)"
Next myrow
I'm not well versed in R1C1 notation, but if you were using regular .Formula notation:
The following code assumes that A1 = Key column, A2 = Returned value column, A3 = Number of columns in the range (which is really just your return column).
lastrow = 10 just for the example
Also note - you must be missing a field... since you should have 4 variables - key column for first parameter, 2 column letters for second parameter, and the number of columns for 3rd parameter.
Sub Test()
lastrow = 10
For myrow = 3 To lastrow
'Range("B" & myrow).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(" & Range("A1").Value & myrow & ",Input!$" & Range("A1").Value & ":$" & Range("A2").Value & "," & Range("A3").Value & ",FALSE)"
Debug.Print "=VLOOKUP(" & Range("A1").Value & myrow & ",Input!$" & Range("A1").Value & ":$" & Range("A2").Value & "," & Range("A3").Value & ",FALSE)"
Next myrow
End Sub

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)"

VBA -- variable in .formula

is there a more elegant (simpler) way to put a variable in .formula? I don't want to use .formulaR1C1
I have this code:
Range("C8").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
PosR = ActiveCell.Row
KonR = PosR - 2
Range("N" & PosR).Select
aAddress = Range("$N$9").Address & ":" & Range("$N$" & KonR).Address
ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUM(" & aAddress & ")"
Obviously I want to put =SUM($N$9:$N$101) (101 is the last cell minus 2) into that cell and this code does the job. But I just want to be sure that this is the easiest way to do this.
The easiest way is to skip all that selecting and those variables
PosR = Range("C8").End(xlDown).Row
Range("N" & PosR).Formula = "=SUM($N$9:$N$" & PosR - 2 & ")"
Edit: to be more explicit, the easiest way is to use FormulaR1C1 but you said you didn't want to, so...
You can use the code below (without using Select and ActiveCell:
PosR = Range("C8").End(xlDown).Row
KonR = PosR - 2
Range("N" & PosR).Formula = "=SUM(" & Range("$N$9").Address & ":" & Range("$N$" & KonR).Address & ")"
Or, the much simplier version:
Range("N" & PosR).Formula = "=SUM($N$9:$N$" & KonR & ")"
Well you should be trying to avoid using Select in VBA. You've made the actual inclusion of a variable in the .Formula about a simple as it gets, but your whole code could be simplified:
PosR = Range("C8").End(xlDown).Row
Range("N" & PosR).Formula = "=SUM($N$9:$N$" & PosR - 2 & ")"
Really you should be fully qualifying your ranges too, like so
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
PosR = .Range("C8").End(xlDown).Row
.Range("N" & PosR).Formula = "=SUM($N$9:$N$" & PosR - 2 & ")"
End With
And if you have blank cells in column C then your use of xlDown will fail to find the last cell. You may want to look at ways of finding the last cell in VBA or simply use
' Again, preferably fully qualified
Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("$N$9").Address gives exactly "$N$9".
Range("N9").Address gives the same. Thus, it is a bit overwork. Check out the first two debug.print in the sample below.
Thus, once you calculate the last row and assign value to it lngLast, it is possible to get the formula like this:
"=SUM(N9:N" & lngLast & ")"
Option Explicit
Public Sub TestMe()
Dim strA As String
Dim lngLast As Long
strA = Range("$N$9").Address
Debug.Print strA = "$N$9"
strA = Range("N9").Address
Debug.Print strA = "$N$9"
lngLast = Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row - 2
ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUM(N9:N" & lngLast & ")"
End Sub
Good morning, everyone :)

Filling cells with loop in VBA Excel [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Using VBA to place multiple formulas in one cell
(1 answer)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm trying to fill cells with a for loop like this:
For i = 1 To Target
Range("C" & i & ":C" & i ).Formula = "='Sheet1'!A" & i & "/" & "'Sheet2'!B" & i"
Next i
And I want to see that in the formula bar:
='Sheet1'!A1 & "/" & 'Sheet2'!B1
='Sheet1'!A2 & "/" & 'Sheet2'!B2
...
Unfortunately it's not working. If I try only the first part like that:
For i = 1 To Target
Range("C" & i & ":C" & i ).Formula = "='Sheet1'!A" & i
Next i
This code results this fine, but this is not enough for me:
='Sheet1'!A1
='Sheet1'!B1
...
What is wrong with my frist code?
You could try
Range("C" & i & ":C" & i).FormulaR1C1 = "=Sheet1!RC1 & ""/"" & Sheet2!RC2"
If you are having trouble with double quotes in a concatenated string, I sugest you remove as many as you can. Single characters can be referred to by their ASCII code number with the Chr function. The / character is 47.
Dim i As Long, target As Long
With ActiveSheet
target = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To target
.Range("C" & i).Formula = "='Sheet1'!A" & i & Chr(47) & "'Sheet2'!B" & i
Next i
End With
You do not have to increment through a range is the formula is constructed properly. Either an xlA1 or xlR1C1 reference style can be used (see xlReferenceStyle enumeration).
Dim i As Long, target As Long
With ActiveSheet
target = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'xlA1 style
.Range("C1:C" & target).Formula = "='Sheet1'!A1/'Sheet2'!B1"
'xlR1C1 Style
.Range("C1:C" & target).FormulaR1C1 = "='Sheet1'!RC1/'Sheet2'!RC2"
End With
Note that an xlR1C1 style requires the Range.FormulaR1C1 instead of the Range.Formula.

Correct formula giving "Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined" error when running sub

I want to paste formula's in column B with a delay in between. The formula should only paste the formula if the cell left to it (in case of B1 this is A1) is not empty, like this:
I have the following VBA that pastes the formula with a delay of 1 sec.
Option Explicit
Sub RetrieveDataDelay()
'paste formulas into cells, then calculate, then delay rinse repeat
'=========================
'Declare Variables
'=========================
Dim i As Long 'used to loop
Dim rowCount As Long
Dim LastRow As Long 'used to find the last row
'=========================
'Setup for Speed
'=========================
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
'=========================
'Define Variables
'=========================
LastRow = Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'This will find the last used row in column A, change the number 1 to whatever column number you want
rowCount = 1 ' set to how many rows you want to do at a time
'=========================
'Do Work
'=========================
For i = 1 To LastRow Step rowCount
Range("B" & i, "B" & WorksheetFunction.Min(i + rowCount - 1, LastRow)).Formula = "'=IF(ISBLANK(A" & i & ");" & """" & """" & ";Dump(Volumes(A" & i & ";2528;1010;TRUE;" & "Volume" & ";TRUE)))" 'set the formula to whatever it needs to be
Calculate
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")) 'this delays 1 second
Next i
'=========================
'Setup for Speed - Reverse
'=========================
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
The error occurs at this part
Range("B" & i, "B" & WorksheetFunction.Min(i + rowCount - 1, LastRow)).Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK(A" & i & ");" & """" & """" & ";Dump(Volumes(A" & i & ";2528;1010;TRUE;" & "Volume" & ";TRUE)))"
The errors has something to due with the formula, which it does not accept. This is a custom formula used with an excel extension. I know that the formula works, as I put a single quotation mark in front as such:
Range("B" & i, "B" & WorksheetFunction.Min(i + rowCount - 1, LastRow)).Formula = "'=IF(ISBLANK(A" & i & ");" & """" & """" & ";Dump(Volumes(A" & i & ";2528;1010;TRUE;" & "Volume" & ";TRUE)))"
so that it pastes the formally literally. If I then remove the quotation mark from the formula the formula works. So the questions remains why it doesn't accept this specific formula in the VBA.
Using Excel 2013.
Range.Formula needs the formula notation always in en_us format independent of the current locale settings. That means functions in English language and also comma as delimiter between formula parameters and not semicolon.
So
.Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK(A" & i & ")," & """" & """" & ",Dump(Volumes(A" & i & ",2528,1010,TRUE," & "Volume" & ",TRUE)))"
After setting Range.Formula, the locale settings will be nevertheless active in the sheet. So in the sheet the formula will be delimited with semicolons if so set.
Btw.: The complicated string notation for double quotes is not neccessary.
.Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK(A" & i & "),"""",Dump(Volumes(A" & i & ",2528,1010,TRUE," & "Volume" & ",TRUE)))"
