I have this formula in excel, which is very long:

and this is the BVA code, which is generated once I record a macro:

VBA Code:
Sub tESTpRICE()
'
' tESTpRICE Macro
'

'
    Range("AB2").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
        "=IF(RC[-26]=1,RC[-1],IF(RC[-26]=2,RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=3, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=4, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=5, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=6, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=7, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=8" & _
        "+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[7]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=9, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[7]C[-1]+R[8]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=10, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[7]C[-1]+R[8]C[-1]+R[9]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=11, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[" & _
        "[8]C[-1]+R[9]C[-1]+R[10]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=12, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[7]C[-1]+R[8]C[-1]+R[9]C[-1]+R[10]C[-1]+R[11]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=13, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[7]C[-1]+R[8]C[-1]+R[9]C[-1]+R[10]C[-1]+R[11]C[-1]+R[12]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=14, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-" & _
        "-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[7]C[-1]+R[8]C[-1]+R[9]C[-1]+R[10]C[-1]+R[11]C[-1]+R[12]C[-1]+R[13]C[-1],IF(RC[-26]=15, RC[-1]+R[1]C[-1]+R[2]C[-1]+R[3]C[-1]+R[4]C[-1]+R[5]C[-1]+R[6]C[-1]+R[7]C[-1]+R[8]C[-1]+R[9]C[-1]+R[10]C[-1]+R[11]C[-1]+R[12]C[-1]+R[13]C[-1]+R[14]C[-1])))))))))))))))"
    Range("AB2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("AB2:AB12459")
    Range("AB2:AB12459").Select
End Sub

Is it possible to create a UDF formula, because there are a problem with using this long formula

Thank you very much
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
No need for a UDF, assuming that col B will always be 1 or greater you can use
=SUM(AA2:INDEX(AA2:AA100,B2))

Thank you,
The new formula is working, and the Marco is working too

but do you thinks this error will affect?
