Try toggle the setting and looking at a few formulas:

tools|options|General tab|check R1C1 reference style.

You'll notice that the columns are now numbered--not lettered.

And your formulas look like:

=if(r2c1="asdf","ok","not ok")
instead of
=if($A$2="asdf","ok","not ok")

Remember to toggle this setting back.

Hey that worked!!!! Thanks! So what is the difference between the styles?

I bet you're using .formulaR1C1, but you're creating the formula using A1
reference style.

Maybe you can use .formula (or actually change the formula so that it uses R1C1
reference style).

somecell.formulaR1C1 = "=...."
becomes
somecell.formula = "=...."

I am attempting to use a macro to write a formula in to a blank cell. When
the formula is written, the cell reference in the formula has apostrophes
around it so it won't function. I'm sure there is a syntax step I'm missing.
Can someone help??
