Hi,

Try this.
The reason the value is being copied is your .Formula command was simply
storing the result of the calculation rather than the formula syntax.

Sub x()

Dim xlsheet As Worksheet

Set xlsheet = Sheet1

With xlsheet
.Range("a1").Value = 1000
.Range("b1").Value = 200
.Range("c1").Formula = "=" & _
.Range("a1").Address(False, False) & _
"-" & .Range("b1").Address(False, False)

.Range("C1:C1").AutoFill Destination:=.Range("C1:C25")
End With

End Sub

Cheers
Andy

Hi,

Try this modified code for the autofill.

xlsheet.Range("C1:C2").AutoFill Destination:=xlsheet.Range("C1:C25")

' here im failing to autofill the formula for the range through code but
' i can with dragging the curser on the excel sheet on column C why ?
so it must be alike this,
a1=100 a2 = 200 a3 = 300
b1= 10 b2 = 0 c3 = 20
c1 = 110 c2 = 200 c3 = 320
