Hello, thank you in advance for your help. I'm trying to add a formula to cell B2 (and going all the way down to match the number of rows in column A) to search for the "L0" in column A and replace both digits before "L0" with another "L0". Example, if the two digits before "L0" is "04", then replace the "04" with "L0".

The formula works fine on a regular excel sheet, however, when I add it as a VBA, the "L0" is creating a problem and macro won't run. Please help!

1) Column A (approximately 1000 lines looking like this with various digits before "L0". In this case it's "04" but it could be "73"). All this data could change with new files we receive:
0012391235064899100012311804L01+00005254.00+0000000.000000+00000000.00+000000.00

2) Here's my VBA code:

Sub AddFormula()
'
Dim LastRowColumnA As Long

LastRowColumnA = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Range("B2:B" & LastRowColumnA).Formula = "=IFERROR((REPLACE(A2,(SEARCH("L0",A2)-2),2,"L0")),"")"




End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
You need to double-up on the quotes inside the formula like
"=IFERROR((REPLACE(A2,(SEARCH(""L0"",A2)-2),2,""L0"")),"""")"

Anything inside quotes is a string, so without the extra quotes "=IFERROR((REPLACE(A2,(SEARCH("L0",A2)-2),2,"L0")),"")" the parts in red would be treated as separate strings & the two L0 would be treated as variables.
