Copying formulas to new cell
 

Cells(cRow, 10).FormulaR1C1 = Cells(cRow - 1, 10).FormulaR1C1

is one way to do it.

As to which is the "best" way, it depends. PasteSpecial is very useful for a
lot of formulas. For one offs, I prefer the above.

To copy a formula (with smart adjustment for the new location) from cRow
4 to cRow 5 where cRow = 5 I can use:
ActiveSheet.Cells(cRow - 1, 10).Copy
ActiveSheet.Cells(cRow, 10).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas
Is this the "best" way?
I am surprised that this:
Cells(cRow, 10).Formula = Cells(cRow - 1, 10).Formula
does not work. It copies the formula but without adjustment for the new
location.

Thanks. The original inspiration for this approach was provided by John
Green and Vasant Nanavati during a discussion a while back. Just to add,
FormulaR1C1 is the only (non paste special) way I know of that can properly
assign noncontiguous formulas in one action:

Range("A6, A10, A12").FormulaR1C1 = Range("A3").FormulaR1C1
