    How to avoid 255 char limit for populating formula in range

    Hello all,

    I need to populate a range with a very long formula.
    It's length exceeds the 255 character limit.
    Does any of you know a way to circumvent it.

    This is what I have, but what doesn't work because of the length.

    Why not just make that a regular formula, and if needed, use the macro to then copy it down?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thought about that FDibbins, but hoped for a better solution.

    The formula installed fine for me. I have no idea what it's supposed to do.

    You do realize I changed the formula? Code can enter formulas longer than 255 characters, just not array formulas.
