Macro to insert Concatenate formula with "-" between values (using R1C1) Not Working

[jwb1012]

Hello, any thoughts on why the below macro is resulting in a runtime error 13? I am trying to concatenate the values in column N and DO with a "-" in the middle. If I remove the "-" it works..... just not sure why I cant put a "-" between the two values. I also tried without "" and it doesn't work either.

Any thoughts?

Sub Concatenate()
    Dim CalcMode As Long
    Dim ViewMode As Long
    Dim LastColumn As Integer
    Dim LastRow As Integer
    
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With
    'Select "Inventory Transaction Summary" worksheet, insert new column "Value less VAT", insert calculation (BMP*Q)
    With Sheets("Inventory Transaction Summary -")
        'Improves speed of macro
        .Select
        ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
        ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
        .DisplayPageBreaks = False
        
    'Insert "Value less VAT" column heading after last column
    LastColumn = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
    LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
    ActiveSheet.Cells(1, LastColumn + 1) = "NSN Batch Number"
    
    Range(Cells(2, LastColumn + 1), Cells(LastRow, LastColumn + 1)).FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC14," - ",RC119)"
    
    End With
    
    ActiveWindow.View = ViewMode
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
End Sub

"=concatenate(rc14,"" - "",rc119)"

It should be ....FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC14,"" - "",RC119)"

Try this.

 Range(Cells(2, LastColumn + 1), Cells(LastRow, LastColumn + 1)).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC14 & "" - "" & RC119"

Thank you all! Using the double quotes ""-"" worked!

Is it possible to the convert the formulas to values? (i.e. something along the lines of ".value")??
