that may be exactly what you want, but hard coding in the value of a cell in
your match formula is not the same a refering to that cell as in your
original post.


ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 12).Formula = "=MATCH(" & _
ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 6).Address(0,0) & ",'Vaillant Brand
list'!B$1:B$1861, 0)"

Will put in the cell reference in the formula instead of the current value
of the cell (continuing to work if the cell value changes.

Had to change it slightly

ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 12).Formula = "=MATCH(" & Chr(34) &
ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 6) & Chr(34) & ",'Vaillant Brand list'!B$1:B$1861, 0)"

but it works well

thanks for that

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
