I have a simple VBA sub:

sub test
Cells(2, 3).FormulaR1C1 = "=LOOKUP(3;R1C2:R5C2;R1C1:R5C1)"
end sub

Result is error ('Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object
defined error'). Is this Excel-bug or am I missing something?

your syntax is incorrect. Please read HELP on spreadsheet functions

Cells(1, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=LOOKUP( 3 , R1C2:R5C2 ,R1C3:R5C3 )"

separate using commas




in this example the value 3 is looked up in the range B1:B5 and the match
in C1:C5 ( the 2nd column of t he range) is returned
