    Using Text Formulas in VBA

    Hi All,

    I've stumbled into an issue while trying to use a text formula in VBA to set the value of certain cells. Hypothetically I could insert a formula into a cell then paste as value to get the same result, however I am working with a huge document and trying to write the most efficient code possible.

    Here is the code I've written, with the understanding that the "v = ..." part of the code isn't correct, but I wanted to show the formula I need to use there. In that formula, the cell "B2" should be dynamic such that it is "B"&i.

    Please let me know if you have any solutions or thoughts.


    Thanks in advance.

    You need quotes around the string and you need to double up the quotes in the formula.

    Oh, and you need an = in front of the formula.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Tiger - That .UsedRange function is awesome. Can't believe I had not seen that yet!
