Sometime I have to use a temporary variable to get it to work. It is also
easier to debug problems doing it this way.

temp = "=MATCH(" & ActiveSheet.Cells(1 ,"B") & ",'Brand list'!B$1:B$1861, 0)"
ActiveSheet.Cells(i ,9).Formula = temp

Hi All

I just have a quick question, is it possible to refer to a variable in
the
formula below

where B1 is after MATCH, I want that to match the variable 'i' in the
Cells.(i,9)

ActiveSheet.Cells(i ,9).Formula = "=MATCH(B1,'Brand list'!B$1:B$1861, 0)"

Thanks
Craig
