Application Defined Error setting a formula via VBA

[BerkshireGuy]

The following code is giving me a Application Defined or Object Defined
error trying to set a formula for cell I for each row:

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim res As Variant

Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Data")
Set rng = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)


For i = rng.Row To 2 Step -1

alias2 = Sheets("Data").Rows(i).Cells(3).Value

ws.Cells(i, "C").Value = Application.VLookup(alias2, _
Sheets("PolicyStatus").Range("A:B"), 2, False)
'The above works

'Below getting error

ws.Cells(i, "I").Formula =
"=IF(AND(RIGHT(H2,3)>='001',RIGHT(H2,3)<='275'),'FTA', " & _
"IF(AND(RIGHT(H2,3)>='276',RIGHT(H2,3)<='299'),'Special
Retired',IF(AND(RIGHT(H2,3)>='300',RIGHT(H2,3)<='899'),'BROKER', " & _
"IF(AND(RIGHT(H2,3)>='900',RIGHT(H2,3)<='999'),'FR','UNASSIGNED'))))"

TIA

In excel formulas, strings are surrounded by double quotes.

If you were typing the formula in a cell, you'd see:
=IF(AND(RIGHT(H2,3)>="001", ....

But when you really want a double quote in VBA, you have to use two of them:

ws.Cells(i, "I").Formula = _
"=IF(AND(RIGHT(H2,3)>=""001"", ...

Then try it out.

When I'm debugging my long formulas, I like to do this:

ws.Cells(i, "I").Formula = _
"IF(AND(RIGHT(H2,3)>=""001"", ...

Then I can go back to that cell and add the leading equal sign and see how I
screwed it up. Then back to the VBE and make another attempt.

Perfect! Thanks for quick response!
