Default Excel Macro string formatting

I think Range(strSheetName!RC2) should probably do it.

Hi,

I am writing a macro in which I need to do the following:
Here I am passing the Sheet name as an argument to the macro.
If I replace the sheet name (Sheet1) with the variable (strSheetName), it
dosen't work
Actual:
--------
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _

"=DATEVALUE(LEFT(RIGHT(""0""&Sheet1!RC2,8),2)& ""/""&MID(RIGHT(""0""&Sheet1!RC2,8),3,2)&""/""&RIGHT(Sheet1!RC2,4))"

Changed:
-----------
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _

"=DATEVALUE(LEFT(RIGHT(""0""&strSheetName!RC2,8),2 )&""/""&MID(RIGHT(""0""&strSheetName!RC2,8),3,2)&""/""&RIGHT(strSheetName!RC2,4))"

I tried to use the String Editor Add-in that gets packaged with VBA,
unfortunately I do not have it.

Could you please, let me know when I'm going wrong.

Thanks in advance.
