I am having problems with syntax.

I use the code below to enter formulas into cells . It is embedded in a
sub
routine.

The code works finr for the first formula line (cell.offset), but the
whole
thing breaks down for the second formula line.

The VBA code doesnt like the parentheses (thinks its the end of the
statement) and it doesnt seem to like the use of specific cell references
either (M$4)

Range("AK18:AK77").Select
Selection.ClearContents

For Each cell In Range("AO18:AO77")
Select Case cell.Value
Case "1"

cell.Offset(, -4).FormulaR1C1 =
"=RC[-9]&RC[-8]&RC[-7]&RC[-6]&RC[-5]&RC[-4]"
cell.Offset(, -1).FormulaR1C1 =
"=IF(ISERROR(RC[-1]/M$4),"Data?",RC[-1]/M$4)"
End Select
Next

Can anyone help with suggestions as I have alot of other similar formulas
to
add which also contain cell references (some on other sheets) and other
statements within parentheses.

Thanks,

Roger
