Adding a dymanic formula to a cell using visual basic

[Ian Web]

Hello,

I have been trying to add a dymanic formula to a cell using visual
basic and I am running into a little difficulty. Any assistance would
be appreciated.

I attempted using the following code. The problem line is marked with
the words "Problem Line" at the end.

Thank you in advance.

Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Phone Numbers")

'find first empty row in database
iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

'check for Last Name
If Trim(Me.Txt_Last_Name.Value) = "" Then
Me.Txt_Last_Name.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please enter an Employee Last Name"
Exit Sub
End If

'check for First Name
If Trim(Me.Txt_First_Name.Value) = "" Then
Me.Txt_First_Name.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please enter an Employee First Name"
Exit Sub
End If

'copy the data to the database
ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value = Me.Txt_Last_Name.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = Me.Txt_First_Name.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 3).Value = "=CONCATENATE(A"&iRow&","", "",B"&iRow&")"
<-- Problem Line
ws.Cells(iRow, 4).Value = Me.Txt_Phone.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 5).Value = Me.Txt_Floor.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 6).Value = Me.Txt_Area.Value

'Sort The Columns by Last Name, First Name

ws.Columns("A:F").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Key2:=Range("B2") _
, Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1,
MatchCase:= _
False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal,
DataOption2 _
:=xlSortNormal


'clear the data
Me.Txt_Last_Name.Value = ""
Me.Txt_First_Name = ""
Me.Txt_Phone = ""
Me.Txt_Floor = ""
Me.Txt_Area = ""
Me.Txt_Last_Name.SetFocus

End Sub

It looks like your code may be missing some & signs.

"=CONCATENATE(A"&
iRow&
","
", "
",B"&
iRow&
")"

I've broken down where your quotes start and stop which should be followed
by an &. It seems like there's something missing though. Even if I add &
where I think it should be, the formula doesn't make sense to me. But maybe
that info will shed some light.

Good luck.

ws.Cells(iRow, 3).Value = "=CONCATENATE(A"&iRow&","", "",B"&iRow&")"

s/b...
ws.Cells(iRow, 3).Value = "=CONCATENATE(A" & iRow & ",B" & iRow & ")"
