Hi,
I get an Expected; end of statement error with this code. The
word 'Missed' is highlighted as the point of the error.



Private Sub CommandButton8_Click()

Range ("L2").Formula = "=COUNTIF(E2:E25,"Missed code date")"

End Sub

try double quotes around "Missed code date".......... it's reading it
as the end of the code.

E2:#25,""Missed code date"")"

hope that helps
:)

Quote marks that are internal to a string constant must be doubled up so
that VB knows where the string constant begins and ends. Try it this way...

Range("L2").Formula = "=COUNTIF(E2:E25,""Missed code date"")"

To include quotation marks within a string, you need to double them (or
replace them with CHR(34)):

Try:

Range ("L2").Formula = "=COUNTIF(E2:E25,""Missed code date"")"

Hi,

You need to double-up on internal qiotes, try this

Range("L2").Formula = "=COUNTIF(E2:E25,""Missed code date"")"
