Hi Everyone,

I am having issues when I attempt to add a formula to a worksheet cell via VBA, firstly even if I use a variable.string it still falls over, the code I have an issue with is as follows

when I check the cell I get
Code:
 =COUNTA('D3':'D300')"
instead of getting
Code:
=COUNTA(D3:D300)"
Code:
 Dim Counter_Insert As String
Counter_Insert = "=COUNTA(D3:D300)"
'
   ''' ActiveWorkbook.Save
    Range("D2").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = Counter_Insert
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Your string isn't in R1C1, try...


Code:
 Dim Counter_Insert As String
Counter_Insert = "=COUNTA(D3:D300)"
'
   ''' ActiveWorkbook.Save
    Range("D2").[COLOR="#FF0000"]Formula[/COLOR] = Counter_Insert
