Variable used to create average formula

[kyddrivers]

I am looking to create a macro that will prompt the user for a number. This number will represent the number of columns to used to create the average formula.

Here is where I am at so far...

Sub ave_test()


Dim averange As Integer
showavebox:
    averange = InputBox("Enter the number of weeks to calculate pattern and click OK", "Thanks")
    
    Range("A3").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(R[-2]C[2]:R[-2]C[averange])"
    Range("A4").Select
End Sub

So far, I am getting an application defined or object defined error on the formula line.

Boils down to this...need to get the formula to read the user entered variable in averange to inserted into the formula

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your help in advance.

try:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(R[-2]C[2]:R[-2]C[" & averange & "])"

Ok I think I have figured it out...

Sub ave_test()

' ave_test Macro

Dim averange As Integer
showavebox:
    averange = InputBox("Enter the number of weeks to calculate pattern and click OK", "Thank You")
    
    Range("A3").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(R[-2]C[2]:R[-2]C[" & averange + 1 & "])"
    Range("A4").Select
End Sub

    Range("A4").Select
End Sub

Need to take this a step further.

What I am hoping to accomplish is take the first column reference (in this case 2) and add the user defined amount to create the 2nd column in the formula. See in orange below or something to that effect.

example:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(R[-2]C[2]:R[-2]C[2 + " & averange & "])"

Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks again for your help in advance!!
