Quote marks that are internal to a string constant must be doubled up so
that VB knows where the string constant begins and ends. Try it this way...

Range("L2").Formula = "=COUNTIF(E2:E25,""Missed code date"")"

Hi,
I get an Expected; end of statement error with this code. The
word 'Missed' is highlighted as the point of the error.



Private Sub CommandButton8_Click()

Range ("L2").Formula = "=COUNTIF(E2:E25,"Missed code date")"

End Sub
