Default Getting error 1004 trying to write formula in cell

You missed a couple of quotes when you doubled them up:

Sheets("test").Range("J1").Formula = "=IF(C9="""",""TBA"",C9)"

(surrounding TBA)

Greg,

Do you know why the following code errors?

Sheets("test").Range("J1").Formula = "=IF(C9="""","TBA",C9)"

Change the empty quotations in the formula ("") to empty double quotations
(""""). This is a requirement when quotation marks are themselves contained
within quotation marks.

In a macro, I wanted to be able to update a formula. I manually updated the
formula on the sheet and it works fine. I simply copied the formula from the
sheet and put it in quotes see below, but I get an error

"Application-defined or object-defined error"


Sheets("test").Range("A1").Formula = "=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($AE6,'Change
Report 6.0'!$C$20:$G$61,AG$4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($AE6,'Cha nge Report
6.0'!$C$20:$G$61,AG$4,FALSE))"

The Help on the error seems to suggest I tried to cause an error, clearly
this is not my intention. Any ideas?
