I have the following code below


Code:
 strBody = "Hi " & Sheets("Consolidated Auto").Range("S2") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "Attached, please find " & Sheets("BTR1").Range("A1") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "These amount to " & Sheets("BTR1) &format(Range("G1"), "R#,##0.00") & "vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "Please follow up on matters and give me feedback" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "Regards" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
            "Howard"

I am trying to get the formula to generate the format value in cell G! to generate the value as for eg R 1,110,415.75 correct

Code:
  "These amount to " & Sheets("BTR1) &format(Range("G1"), "R#,##0.00") & "vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _

I get a syntax error


It would be appreciated if someone could assist me
 

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Code:
"These amount to " & Sheets("BTR1") & format(Range("G1"), "R#,##0.00") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _

Hi Dave I have a similar type problem with another macro below, where nothing is being generated in the body of the email

Code:
 strBody = strBody & "Attached Please find " & Range("B4") & Format(Sheets("Summary").Range("C" & 1).Value, "mmm-yyyyy") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine

C1 contains the month and year

It would be appreciated if you could amend this

I Think U had too many "y"'s The cells have to have strings, so use the CSTR function. HTH. Dave
Code:
strBody = strBody & "Attached Please find " & CStr(Sheets("Summary").Range("B4").Value) _
      & CStr(Format(Sheets("Summary").Range("C" & 1).Value, "mmm-yyyy")) & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
