Solved: Formulas, entered by macro

[vosmerkin]

I had this problem long ago with formulas.
Now I have it again with dates.

I'm assigning a date (or formula) to a cell, but Excel doesn't see it like date/formula. To make it work i have to enter the formula line and press Enter key. After that formula starts to calculate and date becomes a date value and I can formate it like "April, 2007" or 01.01.2007, etc.

I've tried to assign .Value property, to .Formula property
Nothing helps

Vosmerkin, you need to provide the portion of code that you are using however you can format a date like:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("A1").Value = Format(Range("A1").Value, "dd mmm yyyy")
End Sub
if you were to use this and enter 22 12 07 in A1 the cell will display 22-Dec-2007 however if you entered it as a serial number 221207 (the number of days since 1900) then the cell will display 22-Aug-05.

Hope this helps!

or
Range("A:A").NumberFormat = "dd.mm.yy"

try storing the value in a date variable in VBA.

Now it's fine with dates.
CDate("01.01.2007")
This works.

But what to do with formulas?
Dim d As Variant
d = "=сумм(A42+A41)"
Range("a40").Select
ActiveCell.Formula = d

End Sub
I get error in cell A40. To make formula work I have to go to the formula line and press ENTER key

[Bob Phillips]

Is this a udf, or a procedure? And what is cymm function in English?

[vosmerkin]

Sorry
Sub macro1()

Dim d As Variant
d = "=summ(A42:A41)"
Range("a40").Select
ActiveCell.Formula = d

End Sub

[Charlize]

Sub macro_sum()
Range("A40").Formula = "=SUM(A41:A42)"
End Sub
The formula gets translated into the local excel version.

Mine is a dutch version so SUM becomes SOM. But you'll have to watch out with , or ; when you need to use these in a formula or conditional formatting.
