Using formula in code....Part 2!

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using the following formula, kindly provided on this forum) to return
some code from a string in cell D1

=MID(D1,FIND(".",D1,1)-1,3)

However when I try to use this to set the formula in column F using VBA
code as shown here:

Range(Cells(1, 17), Cells(LastRow, 17)).FormulaR1C1 =
"=MID(RC[-2],FIND(".",RC[-2],1)-1,3)

.... I get a syntax error message returned.

Anyone see what is wrong please?

Could it be that you're code is putting it in column 17 rather than 6 (=col
F). Perhaps column O is empty.

The desitnation is actually column E so yes the formula should read
Cells(1,6) not 17 as you said...but that is irrelevant, the code is still
incorrect. It says:
Excecpted list seperator of ) and the point (.) is highlighted so the syntax
of the line is wrong somewhere

Could it be that you're code is putting it in column 17 rather than 6 (=col
F). Perhaps column O is empty.

Hi Bob,


Thanks for the suggestion,
I spotted the double quote marks and included them but I am still receiving
the same message. ...."Expected list seperator or )" ...only this time the
cursor is at the end of the line of code rather than highlighting the point.

Range(Cells(1, 17), Cells(LastRow, 17)).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=MID(RC[-2],FIND(""."",RC[-2],1)-1,3)"

I tried it again and the code runs......however it places the FORMULA not the
resulting value in the destination range.

Range(Cells(1, 17), Cells(LastRow, 17)).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=MID(RC[-2],FIND(""."",RC[-2],1)-1,3)"

With Range(Cells(1, 17), Cells(LastRow, 17))
.FormulaR1C1 = "=MID(RC[-2],FIND(""."",RC[-2],1)-1,3)"
.Value = .Value

Great. That one works a treat. Thanks Bob , please ignore the later question.
Problem solved.

With Range(Cells(1, 17), Cells(LastRow, 17))
.FormulaR1C1 = "=MID(RC[-2],FIND(""."",RC[-2],1)-1,3)"
.Value = .Value
End With
