You want it to be like this, perhaps?

Public Function MultiplyCells(RowIdx As Long, _
ColOne As Long, _
ColTwo As Long, _
ResultCol As Long, _
oWs As Worksheet) As Boolean
With oWs
.Cells(RowIdx, ResultCol).Formula = "=" & _
.Cells(RowIdx, ColOne).Address & "*" & _
.Cells(RowIdx, ColTwo).Address
End With
End Function

This is probably too simple a question

I'm trying to write a function that will put a formula in ResultCol to
multiply InputColOne times InputColTwo

Public Function MultiplyCells(RowIdx As Long, ColOne As Long, ColTwo As
Long, ResultCol As Long, oWs As Worksheet) As Boolean
oWs.Cells(RowIdx, ResultCol).FormulaR1C1 = oWs.Cells(RowIdx, ColOne).Value
* oWs.Cells(RowIdx, ColTwo).Value
End Function

I'm sure my syntax is wrong, I don't clearly understand the .FormumaR1C1
method...
It's not throwing an error, but it's putting the value in the result cell,
not the formula

any hints?
Thanks Mark
