Well, you'll need someway to define your variable (how do we know which
column to use?), but once you figure that out:

xColumn = -6
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 =
"=IF(COUNTIF([ITEM.XLS]SHEET1!C[-11],RC[" & xColumn & "]),VLOOKUP(RC[" &
xColumn & "],[ITEM.XLS]SHEET1!C[-11]:C[-1],11,0),0)"

How I can give the varibale for RC[-6] in the above formula. Because it
might not be the column before 6 in all the time. For example if I insert a
new column and that forumula should be worked out from the new column . So
please help to rewrite the forumula to workout from any column
