Entering excel formula with quotations in a loop using VBA

Question

I am trying to use VBA to to insert a formula in excel that would look like the following in excel:

=BDH(C2,\"PX LAST\",F2,\"\",\"Dir=H\",\"days=w\",\"DTS=H\",\"         


        

Answer 1

You should not be putting the Cells inside the formula string, and you should be using the Address property:

formulaString = "=BDH(" & Cells(i,3).Address(False, False) & ",""PX LAST""," & Cells(i,6).Address(False, False) & ","""",""Dir=H"",""days=w"",""DTS=H"",""cols=1;rows=1"")"

However what you actually want is switching to the R1C1 notation:

formulaStringR1C1 = "=BDH(RC3,""PX LAST"",RC6,"""",""Dir=H"",""days=w"",""DTS=H"",""cols=1;rows=1"")"

and then using

Cells(i,8).FormulaR1C1 = formulaStringR1C1
