I have Excell XP 2002, I have a macro that inserts two columns one is a date
field and one is a number field.

After inserting the number column I would like to have a macro to place a
sum formula in row 27 of the column. Any ideals.

I have tried a couple others that have been offered, and nothing seems to be
working.

try using the macro recorder. turn it on, then
insert column
write your sum formula in row 27
turn off macro recorder.

the resulting macro code should give you a pretty good place to start
- you could probably just copy & paste that code into your current
macro.

try
Sub insertcolumnsandsum()
ac = ActiveCell.Column
ar = 1
With Cells(ar, ac)
.Resize(, 2).EntireColumn.Insert
.Offset(27, 0).Formula = _
"=sum(r1c" & ac + 2 & ":r27c" & ac + 2 & " )"
End With
End Sub

assume the first column is Date and the second is the values to be summed.

icol = 10
Columns(icol).Resize(,2).Insert
cells(27,icol + 1).Formula = "=Sum(K1:K26)"


Change the 10 to the column number of the new column which will be the date
column.

Forgot to change the address in the formula when I decided to generalize the
macro.

cells(27,icol + 1).Formula = "=Sum(K1:K26)"
should be

cells(27,icol + 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=Sum(R1C:R26C)"
