Hi, I wanted to insert a formula that calculates the sum of a column in a table.

Cells(5,6).FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(TableName[Score])"

However, the code doesn't work because TableName is a string variable, I need it to be that way so that i can generate multiple tables with different names. Anyone knows how to do it?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
Code:
   Dim TblName As String
   TblName = "Table1"
   Range("F5").Formula = "=sum(" & Tbl & "[score])"
