change values to formulas
 

I've seen a lot of threads addressing changing formulas to values, but
haven't come across one going the other way. I have a spreadsheet that gets
created with all values. Column E is the sum of columns C and D. I'm trying
to figure out the code that will go through column E, and at every occurance
of a number, replace that number with the formula =C+D.

I tried using Isnumeric as a test, but it plugged that formula into all the
blank cells as well.
If IsNumeric(ActiveCell.Value) Then ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-2]+RC[-1]"

Suggestions?

change values to formulas
 

I should have said

if not activecell.value like "*=*" then

Try looking for the "=" sign.

if activecell.value like "*=*" then ...

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear: The cells just have numbers in them, no
formulas. I want to change the value to a formula.

Try this

if not activecell.value like "*=*"

this will find the active cells that don't have a formula.

How about?

If IsNumeric(ActiveCell.Value) and isempty(activecell.value) = False Then

Adding the "isempty" code works perfectly! Thanks!!!

I've tried the "if not activecell.value like "*=*" then" code and was still
getting the same error where all blank cells were getting populated with
formulas.
