Uh ah.......

Sheet1.Range("A1").Formula = "=Sum(B1:B100)"

Would be the correct syntax.  Unlike my original post without the attitional "=" sign. (thanks Bill!).

Hi Asger,

Sheet1.Range("A1").Formula = "Sum(B1:B100)"
Is how you would use code to write a formula into an Excel Range(s).

varMyXLValue = Sheet1.Range("A1").value
Will return the value in the desired range

Hope that helps a bit

Cheers
Darryl

Writing Excel VBAs for years I've always used the property Value, and suddenly it strikes me:  What's the difference between Formula and Value?

Below examples lead to same result:

Range("A1").Value = "Test" 

Range("A1").Formula = "Test" 

Range("A1").Value = "=B1+B2" 

Range("A1").Formula = "=B1+B2"

Is Value versus Formula only a matter of code readability?

 

Asger
