Just a technique would be to place the equation into a cell manually just to
have Excel take a look at it.
If Excel doesn't complain, then copy the formula back into the macro. In a
more complicated statement, Excel might correct any missing '( ' or ')' .
Excel will correct any small letters like 'if' and 'a1' to the proper case
if all checks out.

Cells(2, 3).Formula = "=IF(A3=2,A3,A2)"

Again, just a technique.
