Trying to sub a variable into vlookup for the table array.
This works:

Code:
Sub vl()
' temporary fix for summer teach

Dim vl1 As Range
Dim vl2 As Range
Dim vl1a As Range

    Set vl1 = Range("A:A").Find("C.I.")

    Set vl2 = Range("B:B").Find("17200")

    Set vl1a = Range(vl1, vl2)

    MsgBox vl1a.Address

    ActiveCell.Formula = "=VLOOKUP(G5," & vl1a.Address & ",2)*H5"


End Sub

This doesn't:

Code:
Sub vl()
' temporary fix for summer teach

Dim vl1 As Range
Dim vl2 As Range
Dim vl1a As Range

    Set vl1 = Range("A:A").Find("C.I.")

    Set vl2 = Range("B:B").Find("17200")

    Set vl1a = Range(vl1, vl2)

    MsgBox vl1a.Address

    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-2]," & vl1a.Address & ",2)*RC[-1]"

End Sub

"Application-defined or object-defined error"
I guess that means that's not how you call a variable in this format. I need to use the second version, how do you do it?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Glad to help & thanks for the feedback.
Not sure what you mean by "Internet Points", but if you are referring to a ranking or reputation system, then we don't have one here.
