Macro problems

[Heine]

Hi everybody

My formula looks exactly like this:


Sub makeformulae()
Sheets("Bogholderi").Select
Set frng = Range("O9:O" & Cells(Rows.Count, "O").End(xlUp).Row)
With frng
Formula =
"=if(a9="";"";if(isna(vlookup(a9;råb1;3;false));"";(vlookup(a9;råb1;3;false­))))"

Formula = .Value 'changes to a value if desired
End With
End Sub


As I understand it this should set my defined formula active in all the

cells in column O from row 9 - that is it should return the result of
the formula in the entire column (almost) - but nothing happens. Any
thoughts?


And what can I use this line for?


Formula = .Value 'changes to a value if desired

Sub makeformulae()
Dim frng As Range
Const sFormula As String = _
"=if(a9="""";"""";if(isna(vlookup(a9;råb1;3;false));"""";(vlookup(a9;råb1;3;
false))))"
Sheets("Bogholderi").Select
Set frng = Range("O9:O" & Cells(Rows.Count, "O").End(xlUp).Row)
With frng
.Formula = sFormula
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

If Bob's formula didn't work, then I'd try:

Const sFormula As String = _
"=if(a9="""","""",if(isna(vlookup(a9,råb1,3,false)),""""," & _
"(vlookup(a9,råb1,3,false))))"

Semicolons have been replaces with commas--VBA is pretty USA centric.

Hi Bob,

thanks for yout input. However this line doesn´t seem to work:

..Formula = sFormula

"Application or object defined error" it says.

Any thoughts?

Do you really have a range named: råb1

It shouldn´t matter should it? I can always change it to the
traditional way if it´s a problem

 

[Bob Phillips]

It shouldn't be that, the formula should install okay, it would just show an
error in the cell.

Did you notice Dav e's follow-up post to mine where he suggested using
commas in VBA n ot semi-colons. That could throw the application error. Try
it with

Const sFormula As String = _
"=if(a9="""","""",if(isna(vlookup(a9,råb1,3,false))," & _
""""",(vlookup(a9,råb1,3,false))))"

So I replace the formula in the below macro with the one you gave me?

What about the line?

.Formula = sFormula



Sub makeformulae()
Dim frng As Range
Const sFormula As String = _
"=if(a9="""";"""";if(isna(vlookup(a9;råb1;3;false));"""";(vlookup(a9;råb1;3­;

false))))"
Sheets("Bogholderi").Select
Set frng = Range("O9:O" & Cells(Rows.Count, "O").End(xlUp).Row)
With frng
.Formula = sFormula
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

It actually works now - thanks guys!

Dim frng As Range
Const sFormula As String = _
"=if(a9="""";"""";if(isna(vlookup(a9;råb1;3;false));"""";(vlookup(a9;råb1;3­;

false))))"
Sheets("Bogholderi").Select
Set frng = Range("O9:O" & Cells(Rows.Count, "O").End(xlUp).Row)
With frng
.Formula = sFormula
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

 

[Bob Phillips]

That is only where the error shows, the problem is elsewhere.
