Default Formula in given via input box

Yep -Missed some of the Ampersands you put in - sorry

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='" & segment & " - Exp & !R[-21]C - '" _
& segment & " - Rev & !R[-26]C"

should be

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='" & segment & " - Exp'!R[-21]C - '" _
& segment & " - Rev'!R[-26]C"

so I should always bench test it in the immediate window:

segment = "HIO"
? "='" & segment & " - Exp'!R[-21]C - '" _
& segment & " - Rev'!R[-26]C"
='HIO - Exp'!R[-21]C - 'HIO - Rev'!R[-26]C

Or, fixing yours:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='" & segment & " - Exp & !R[-21]C - '" _
& segment & " - Rev & !R[-26]C"

om...
Hallo,
I have following problem. I would need to use the user values
submitted via inputbox into the formula of the following type:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='HIO - Exp'!R[-21]C-'HIO - Rev'!R[-26]C"

I.e. in this case the parameter "HIO" should be submitted via
inputbox.

I have the following code which ends with error.

Sub formula_input_test

IntgInput = InputBox("Submit the segment name (abbrev.)")

segment = IntgInput

Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='& segment & - Exp & !R[-21]C - '& segment
& - Rev & !R[-26]C"

End Sub


Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions.
Best regards, Petr Duzbaba
