Is there a non-absolute version of Range.Address? I have a VBA code that builds the outline of a spread-sheet with formula's, formatting etc. It contains a loop which puts formula into a column but I would like the formula to use relative addresses so that later on I could extend the number of rows covered from within Excel if needed (using the cells' bottom-right handle thingy). Range(...).Address returns the address like $E$8 whereas I would like E8. Do I have to write a string-slicing function or is there a property of Range that can be called. Example:

Code:
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Dim C_max_row As Long, i As Long

C_Max_row = 25

'...

For i = 2 To C_Max_row

    With ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 5)

        .Formula = "=IFERROR(LOOKUP(" & .Offset(0, -3).Address & "$F$2:$L$2,$F$1:$L$1),"""")"

        '...

    End With

Next i

[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Use:
Code:
.Offset(0, -3).Address(0,0)

I've been working around this problem and cursing Microsoft about it for years.
Finally, you have saved me!
