VBA Q- Entering Formula through recorder!

[aborg88]

Hi All,

Seeking some excel Guru help!

I'm pretty new to VBA, but have a lot of experience using excel.

I have a sheet with two sheets;

1. PASTE
2. ANALYSIS

PASTE LOOKS LIKE THIS -

Resolved Date	Country inbox
03/06/2013	Info-it
03/06/2013	Info-it
03/06/2013	Info-no
03/06/2013	Info-fi
03/06/2013	Info-no
03/06/2013	Info-dk
03/06/2013	Info-uk
03/06/2013	Info-nl
03/06/2013	Info-bg
03/06/2013	Info-se
03/06/2013	Info-no
03/06/2013	Info-nl
03/06/2013	Info-se
03/06/2013	Info-dk
03/06/2013	Info-nl
03/06/2013	Info-se
03/06/2013	Info-dk
03/06/2013	Info-no
03/06/2013	Info-nl
03/06/2013	Info-it
03/06/2013	Info-no
03/06/2013	Info-no
03/06/2013	Info-se
03/06/2013	Info-se
03/06/2013	Info-it
03/06/2013	Info-pl
03/06/2013	Info-no
03/06/2013	Info-nl
03/06/2013	Info-it
03/06/2013	Info-uk
03/06/2013	Info-it
03/06/2013	Info-pl

<colgroup><col span="2"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Now in reality the sheet has more rows and more columns, however for this example i only need this,

In Analysis tab there are
DATE
03/06/2013
04/06/2013
05/06/2013
06/06/2013
07/06/2013
08/06/2013
09/06/2013

Dates,

Now in B2 I have a rather complicated SUM, using COUNTIFS, which only take corresponding countries for the date;

=SUM(COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-no",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-fi",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-uk",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-nl",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-bg",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-se",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2),COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-pl",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-de",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-hu",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-lt",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-ru",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-pt",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-cz",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-gr",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-lv",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-ro",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,"Info-fr",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2))

This sum works fine when pasted and dragged down.

My problem!!

If i record a macro and paste this into recorder and run the macro i get an;

application-defined or object-defined error

!! WHY?! Can anyone please help!

When you place in in a module, you need to 'double up' on the double quotes (that surround your country value) so that VBA does not interpret them as string terminators:

Range("A1").Formula = "=SUM(COUNTIFS(PASTE!B:B,""Info-no"",PASTE!A:A,ANALYSIS!A2), .....

Additions are in red.

My apologies, this does not do the trick, the formula when pasted through recorder auto- double quotes everything.

In fact the VBA code through recorder translates to this --

Range("B2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=SUM(COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-no"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-fi"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-uk"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-nl"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-bg"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-se"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYS" & _
"C[-1]),COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-pl"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-de"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-hu"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-lt"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-ru"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-pt"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALY" & _
"C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-cz"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-gr"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-lv"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-ro"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]), COUNTIFS(PASTE!C,""Info-fr"",PASTE!C[-1],ANALYSIS!R[-1]C[-1]))"
Range("B4").Select

I suspect your formula string is exceeding the formula length limit - try this instead of your current formula line of code:

Activecell.Formula = "=SUM(COUNTIFS(Paste!B:B,{""Info-bg"",""Info-dk"",""Info-fi"",""Info-it"",""Info-nl"",""Info-no"",""Info-p"l",""Info-ru"",""Info-se"",""Info-uk"",""Info-cz"",""Info-lv"",""Info-fr"",""Info-ro"",""Info-gr"",""Info-pt"",""Info-de"",""Info-hu""},Paste!A:A,Analysis!A2))"

PERFECT!! Thanks!
