Deb,

Try this

Worksheets("Reformatted Data").Range("D1").Formula = _
"=INDEX(INDIRECT(""'Downloaded Data'!$A$1:$H$&'Start
Here'!$E$11"")," _
"MATCH(I3,INDIRECT(""'Downloaded Data'!$I$1:$I$&'Start
Here'!$E$11"),0),4)"

The function works in Excel. But, when VB encounters the first quote, it
thinks the rest is a comment. I renamed the spreadsheets to have a
one-level name so that I could remove the single quotes, but it still didn't
work. Help!!

Worksheets("Reformatted Data").Range("D1").Formula =
"=INDEX(INDIRECT("'Downloaded Data'!$A$1:$H$"&'Start
Here'!$E$11),MATCH(I3,INDIRECT("'Downloaded Data'!$I$1:$I$"&'Start
Here'!$E$11),0),4)"
