Hi Folks.

If I enter my vlookup... =VLOOKUP(O7,BudgetHours,2,FALSE)*U1 directly into a cell it works as expected. When I try to pass this... Range("D" & i).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(O & i & ,BudgetHours,2,False)*U1" I get thrown out of my routine. Here's the full snippet...

VBA Code:
lRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 3 To lRow
        With Range("O" & i)
            If .Font.Bold Then
                Range("D" & i).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(O & i & ,BudgetHours,2,False)*U1"
            End If
        End With
    Next
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
In VBA code, it is important to understand that everything between double-quotes will be treated as literal text.
So any variables you have must be outside of the double-quotes to be treated as a variable, i.e.
Excel Formula:
Range("D" & i).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(O" & i & ",BudgetHours,2,False)*U1"

I should have known better. Quotes give me headaches. -Thanks Joe.
