Default Problem with Formula in VB Macro

I should first explain that the AutoFill method only works starting from the
selected cell, i.e. if "M2" is where your formula is then you can only
autofill up, down, left, or right from cell "M2".

Example:

Range("M2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("M2:M15"), Type:=xlFillDefault

If you want to copy the formula in "M2" to "A5" (and beyond) you must first
copy the formula to "A5" and then autofill down the "A" column

Range("A5").Formula = Range("M2").Formula
Range("A5").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range( <put your range in here ),
Type:=xlFillDefault

and insert the fill range in the format "A5:A999" or Cells(5, "A"),
Cells(999, "A") etc.

I'll leave it to you to calculate the row range. I need to hit the road for
the day. Bye

Hi Charlie,

I used your syntax as follows:

Range("M2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range(Cells(5, 1), Cells(iNumOfRows +
1, 1)), Type:=xlFillDefault

However, I got an error when I ran the macro, "Runtime error '1004'.
Autofill method of Range class failed".

Any advice on how to get rid of this error? Thanks!

-Emily
