Can someone please let me know what is wrong with the following?

Code:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=" & ActiveCell.Offset(-2, 0).Address(0,0) & "-" & ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Address(0,0)

I can't figure out why I'm getting an error

Thanks

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
It would error if your current ActiveCell is in Row 1 or 2, since ActiveCell.Offset(-2,0) would try to go to row 0 or -1...

Other than that, it works fine for me..

What's the active cell when the code runs?

If it's anything in row 1 or 2 then the code will error.

Perhaps you should post the rest of the code and explain what it's purpose is.:)
