Variable with no Value inside Macro Equation??
 

I am trying to setup a code that dumps data from one sheet to another.
The user inputs the row number of the data, then the data in that row
is tranferred. How do I get VB/Excel to recognize the value of my
variable in the equations?? My code below is not working.


Code:
--------------------
Sub TransferInfo()

RNum = InputBox("Enter the row number of the new unit")
StationName = "='Master List (Base)'! & RNum & 'E'"

Sheets("DataInput").Select
Range("C5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Master List (Base)'! & StationName"
--------------------



Thanks.

It looks to me like you have incorrectly R1c1 notation with standard
notation. r1c1 notation doesn't refer to a column using the letter 'E'
I also don't think you've got Stationname concatenated the way it
should be. stationname also duplicates the worksheet reference that is
in place when you assign the formula.

Hi,

Not sure if I get it correctly, but try this:

Sub TransferInfo()
RNum = InputBox("Enter the row number of the new unit")
StationName = "='Master List (Base)'!E" & RNum
Sheets("DataInput").Range("C5").Formula = StationName
End Sub

or even

Sub TransferInfo()
RNum = InputBox("Enter the row number of the new unit")
StationName = "='Master List (Base)'!E" & RNum
Sheets("DataInput").Range("C5") = Evaluate(StationName)
End Sub

Regards,
KL
