Set formula as variable w/o "=" sign
 

I have the following formula in my cell
=AVERAGE(OFFSET(C15,-3,0,-12,1))

I want to set a variable as the formula, such as
MyFormula = ActiveCell.Formula

How can I get rid of the "=" sign at the beginning? I basically need to add
a condition to the beginning and end of the formula and don't want the "="
inserted in the middle.

Set formula as variable w/o "=" sign
 

MyFormula = Mid$(ActiveCell.Formula, 2)

Stephanie,

MyFormula = Mid(ActiveCell.Formula, 2, Len(ActiveCell.Formula))
