Question

I am writing a macro that creates variable worksheets based on a value on an existing worksheet. I managed that part fine, but now I need to add a VLOOKUP formula on another sheet that references the newly created sheets. There is no set pattern to the name of the new worksheets, so I having trouble referencing them. Here is the code I used to create the new worksheets:

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rngCriteria As Range
Dim sName As String
Dim I As Long
Dim LastRow As Long

    LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    With Sheets("Part Type REC")
        If .AutoFilterMode = True Then .AutoFilterMode = False

        .Range("D1:D" & LastRow).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=.Range("J1"), Unique:=True

        Set rngCriteria = .Range("J1").CurrentRegion

        For I = 2 To .Cells(Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp).Row
            sName = .Cells(I, "J")
            Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
            ws.Name = sName
            .Range("D1:D" & LastRow).AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=" & .Cells(I, "J").Value
            .Range("A1:H" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=ws.Range("A1")
        Next I

        .AutoFilterMode = False
    End With
    Sheets("Part Type REC").Select
    Columns("J:J").Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("A1").Select

And here is the VLOOKUP that I need to reference the new worksheets:

Sheets("TP Parts").Select
Range("O2").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],'ws.name'!C[-14],1,FALSE)"
Range("O2").Select

Where am I going wrong with this?

Thanks in advance!

Try this (UNTESTED – Just typed it here)

Range("O2").FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-1]," & ws.name & "!C[-14],1,FALSE)"
