I can get my macro to work until I add some error handling:

This works:


Sub BudgetFormula()
'
' BudgetFormula Macro
'


'
Worksheets("WIP").Select
Range("J2").Formula = "=(1-SUM(VLOOKUP(E2,'Set Up'!$C$17:$D$26,2)))*G2"
Range("J2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("J3:J999").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A2").Select
End Sub

But this does NOT:

Sub BudgetFormula()
'
' BudgetFormula Macro
'


'
Worksheets("WIP").Select
Range("J2").Formula = "=IF(ISERROR((1-SUM(VLOOKUP(E2,'Set Up'!$C$17:$D$26,2)))*G2),"",(1-SUM(VLOOKUP(E2,'Set Up'!$C$17:$D$26,2)))*G2)"
Range("J2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("J3:J999").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A2").Select
End Sub



Can someone please tell me how to correct?
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

Just figured it out...needed to double the quotes in the middle! :)

Sub BudgetFormula()

'
Worksheets("WIP").Select
Range("J2").Formula = "=IF(ISERROR((1-SUM(VLOOKUP(E2,'Set Up'!$C$17:$D$26,2)))*G2),"""",(1-SUM(VLOOKUP(E2,'Set Up'!$C$17:$D$26,2)))*G2)"
Range("J2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("J3:J999").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A2").Select
End Sub
