Dear All,

I am having trouble in VBA for an Excel 2003 project. The following works fine:
Range("AccountNumber").FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(Template,TemplateDetails,4,FALSE)"

The following gives me a run time error 1004 Application-definded or object-defined error:
Range("AccountNumber").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(Template,TemplateDetails,4,FALSE)),"", _
VLOOKUP(Template,TemplateDetails,4,FALSE))"

The formula works fine when used in a cell on a worksheet. When I put it into VBA, I get the error. I am guessing the double quotes in the formula are the root of the problem. Do I put quotes around the quotes?

Best regards,

GL

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
TIP OF THE DAY: Whenever I create a formula that will be written into cells via VBA, I get the right VBA syntax quickly by just typing the formula out first in the first target cell while the macro recorder is running. That will give you the correct base code...easy to tweak from there.
