Default HELP! Lost data - need to insert formula but get error!

I'm iterating down a column of cells on Sheet1. If the cell is blank, I
want to insert the following formula:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=IF(ISERROR(MATCH($C" & j &
"TIRs!$C$2:$C$15000,0)),0,INDEX(TIRs!" & i & "$2:" & i & "$15000,MATCH($C" &
j & "TIRs!$C$2:$C$15000,0)))"
where i and j are the column and row indexes (Dimmed as Long) for the
ActiveCell. The variables do have the values. But I get the following:
Application-defined or object-defined error.

What I'm trying to do is pick up some data I lost from a previous version of
this workbook. If the cell is blank, there may be a value that is supposed
to be there on the previous version; look at Column C for that same row and,
if that value matches the value in Col C on Sheet(TIRs), pull the value onto
Sheet1.

I use the formula in my weekly updates and it works there - *BUT* I use it
without variables - it's inserted in row2 of the column and run down. I
can't do that here because the older version of the data that has the lost
data does not have new data I've inserted before I discovered the problem.
So I'm trying to insert this modified formula into only blank cells so it
picks up the ActiveCell row and column.

Any help is appreciated.
