VBA Excel formula error
Hi,
I'm trying to use a variable in a formula and it's not working. Here is the formula: Formula #1 ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=rc[x]-rc[2]" The value of x is determined in a select case statement. For example depending on the case selection I want the formula to say: Formula #2 ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "rc[-17]-rc[2]" Formula #2 works but Formula #1 doesn't. How can I use a variable in #1 and make it work? Thanks much, -- TomD |

VBA Excel formula error
if x is inside the quotes it is treated as text, not as your variable - do
this instead: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=rc[" & x & "]-rc[2]" "TomD" wrote: Hi, I'm trying to use a variable in a formula and it's not working.
