Help needed with to input formula with vba

[rama4672]

i need a bit of help to insert a formula into a worksheet by the use of vba, when i try to do it i get an error, here ie the bit of code i am trying with

Range("aa6").formulaR1C1 = "=IF(E6="agy","",IF(E6="o/t","",IF(COUNT(F6,G6)=2,(H6-F6+(H6<F6))*24-0.75,"")))"
   Range("aa6:ac250").FillDown

I get the error on the red text, i get a message box saying compile error,expected end of statment

Thank you for any help

Hi Ian,

To include quote characters in a quoted string, you must double them up ..

Range("aa6").formulaR1C1 = "=IF(E6=""agy"","""",IF(E6=""o/t"","""",IF(COUNT(F6,G6)=2,(H6-F6+(H6<F6))*24-0.75,"""")))"
Range("aa6:ac250").FillDown

Thanks for that tony.
That works ok, i did have to change the formulaR1C1 section to formula for it to work properly.

I did realise that i had put it in the wrong section, and i tried to delete it and do it again in the right place but could not find out how to delete a post.


Thanks

Ian

No problem, Ian.

Some fool, sorry, excellent administrator gave me special priveleges here so I can do things ordinary mortals can't.
