Hello,

I have a worksheet and the following line of code:
Me.Range("G11").Formula = "=SUMIF(A1;1;A3:A6)"

Excel says: 1004 Application error

What am I doing wrong? If I enter the exact same string as a formula,
everything works fine. Help! :)


Markus

Either change the semi colons (;) to commas or use FormulaLocal rather than
Formula (assuming your list separator is set to semicolon).

However, I don't thing the formula will produce what you want.

Maybe you want an if statement
=If(A1=1,Sum(A3:A6),0)

First, thanks for helping me out.
You were right, the semi colons are my list separator. Excel is smart
and replaces commas in the from-code-formulas with the semicolons.

I tried the same script on my Excel 2003 computer and it filled in the
formulas. However, all I get is an "Name" Error. When I edit the cell
(F2) and press enter without changing anything, it works! Odd....

Using "LocalFormula" causes my Excel 2003 to give me that 1004
Application error. :(

What I was trying to accomplish is to count the occurence of a giving
string in a number of cells, using SUMIF(<Range, <GivenString).

Thank you,


Markus

Using "LocalFormula"

it isn't localformula, it is formulalocal

when you use formulalocal, the formula should be written as you would enter
it in a cell (including non-english works/names if that is how you work in
your spreadsheet).
