    Putting a Variable into a formula

    I have a formula in Excel VBA code

    .Range("BU2").Resize(SumRow - 1).Formula = "=SUMIF(B:B,BT2,U:U)"
    that Sums values when I reference a specific column. ( Column U ) in this case

    Now, I want to dynamically select a column and have that formula applied to the selected column.

    This is how I'm finding the column.

            With Sheets("Sheet1")
                Set Col = Range("H1:S1")
       
                With Col.Find(ComboBox1, LookAt:=xlWhole)
                       rsCol = .Column
                    'MsgBox rsCol
           
                End With   
        End With

    How do I get the value of rsCol ( The column Letter ) into this formula ?

    = "=SUMIF(B:B,BT2,U:U)"
    This gives me the column letter

    ColNo = rsCol
      fCol = Split(Cells(, ColNo).Address, "$")(1)
    But I cant get this bit to work

    .Range("CU2").Resize(SumRow - 1).Formula = "=SUMIF(B:B,CT2,'fCol:fCol')"

    Thanks

    you dont need so many variables.

        Dim fCol As String
        
        fCol = Split(Cells(, Range("H1:S1").Find(ComboBox1, LookAt:=xlWhole).Column).Address, "$")(1)
        
        Range("CU2").Resize(SumRow - 1).Formula = "=SUMIF(B:B,CT2," & fCol & ":" & fCol & ")"

    Thanks mancubus:
    Your reply solved the problem.
    Your code was much more elegant & precise than what I had attempted.
