Hi folks!
I'm just trying to write a formula in a cell.

if I use Formula2Local I got a '1004' Runtime error.
VBA Code:
Worksheets("SK").Cells(ACT_row, Col_VAL).Formula2Local = Aggr_costi

if I use FormulaLocal everything run smoothly
VBA Code:
Worksheets("SK").Cells(ACT_row, Col_VAL).FormulaLocal = Aggr_costi

The runtime WatchWindow shows that Aggr_costi is a string: : Aggr_costi : "=AGGREGA(9;0;$L$48:$L$52)" : Variant/String :
and the aggregate interval is a Range: Worksheets("SK").Cells(ACT_row, Col_VAL) : Variant/Object/Range

I read this doc about formula and Formula2 and I can't understand why Formula2Local gives an error in this case.
I could go on and use FormulaLocal instead but:

- I prefer avoiding to do things without understanding why
- M$ suggest to use Formula2 as best practice

Could someone help me to understand why Formula2Local does not works in this case?

P.S: AGGREGA is the Italian formula for AGGREGATE. This is why I'm using Formula2Local and not Formula2

thanks
 

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.
(Per evitare equivoci) Please tel us which version of Excel you use

You can use Formula2 only on Dynamic Array aware Excel versions.
This feature has been broadly released on Jan 2020 to Office 365 subscribers (it had been available to "some" of the Office Inseders program partecipants since Jan 2019).

So you are on a "traditional" environment, you should not use Formula2 except in Conditional formatting

Ciao
