I am trying to add a formula to a cell. The macro is adding quotations around the cell range, which causes the cell to return the #name error.

This is the code in the macro

Cells(1, 4).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-2],Contracts!A7:D30,3,FALSE)"

This is what the code returns in Excel after executing the macro.

=VLOOKUP(B4,Contracts!'A7':'D30',3,FALSE) 

Note that #name error disappears and the formula works, after I remove the quotations around the cell A7 and D30.

    You cannot mix RC and A1 style references in the same formula. Pick one and stick to it.

    "=VLOOKUP(RC[-2],Contracts!R7C1:R30C4,3,FALSE)"
    

    will work
