Hello there,
I have a worksheet where I'd like to add 1 year to the Date column and add 1 to a number inside some text in another column.
The Date column, I have sorted, but the number inside text is the worry.
My Col "K" has entries like '12/09/2019' & '17/10/2019'.
Col "L" has 'Birthday, 74 yrs' & 'Wedding Anniversary, 58 yrs'
I can Evaluate the formula into 'new' cells, but how can I update into the existing cells?
My code so far is..
Code:
Sub Test_VBA_2()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
With ActiveSheet
    LastRow = Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 4 To LastRow
    
        If Range("K" & i) <> "" Then
        .Range("K" & i).Value = DateAdd("yyyy", 1, .Range("K" & i).Value)
'''     I'm trying to do a similar thing for Col "L", add 1 to the number inside text.
'''     The formula would be like '=IF(L4<>"",LEFT(L4,(FIND(",",L4)+1))&LEFT(MID(L4,FIND(",",L4)+2,256),2)+1&RIGHT(L4,4),"")
'''     I converted the formula to
'''     .Range("L" & i).Formula = "=IF(.Range(" & Chr(34) & "L" & Chr(34) & " & i)<>" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ",LEFT(.Range(" & Chr(34) & "L" & Chr(34) & " & i),(FIND(" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & ",.Range(" & Chr(34) & "L" & Chr(34) & " & i))+1))&LEFT(MID(.Range(" & Chr(34) & "L" & Chr(34) & " & i),FIND(" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & ",.Range(" & Chr(34) & "L" & Chr(34) & " & i))+2,256),2)+1&RIGHT(.Range(" & Chr(34) & "L" & Chr(34) & " & i),4)," & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ")"
'''     Calculate
'''     .value = .value
'''     But it produces a Run-time error '1004'   Application-defined or Object-defined error
        End If
    Next i
End With
'With [M4:M5]    This gives the correct answer but in NEW cells
'  [M4].Value = "=IF(L4<>" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ",LEFT(L4,(FIND(" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & ",L4)+1))&LEFT(MID(L4,FIND(" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & ",L4)+2,256),2)+1&RIGHT(L4,4)," & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ")"
'  [M5].Value = "=IF(L5<>" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ",LEFT(L5,(FIND(" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & ",L5)+1))&LEFT(MID(L5,FIND(" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & ",L5)+2,256),2)+1&RIGHT(L5,4)," & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ")"
'    Calculate
'    .Value = .Value
'End With

End Sub

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry Fluff, I missed posts #8 & #9
Ok, so I'm learning, Yes the End With position does matter, I'll have to choose my words better, I stand corrected.
Yes my earlier posts didn't mention adding 1 to col F based on another col, it was an after thought, I'll have to explain better.

I'll try your code and get back to you, thanks for your patience.

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Yep, a simple offset.
Works like a charm Fluff.:)

Thank-you for you time and patience, it's very much appreciated.
