Question

I have A column and B column, They compare their previous values And Iam comparing it with the following formulae

    =IF((OR(AND(A2=A1,B2=B1),K2=0),0,1) it puts the 0 or 1 on the coresponding Q column

so when it goes to the 5th cell then it becames

    =IF((OR(AND(A5=A4,B5=B4),K5=0),0,1)

But im trying to apply it in my VBA code like these

  For numm = 2 To lastRow
  Sheet1.Cells(numm, "Q").Value = ="IF(OR(AND(sheet1.cells(numm,""A"").value=sheet1.cells(numm-1,""A"")simlar way becolumn),sheet1.cells(numm,""k"").value=0),1,0)"
  Next numm

But Im unable to peform the action it says 1004 error and object error
How do i use cells(numm,”A”) in my VBA formulae or atleast any other way to put my formula and make it work

Answer 1

The reference to the looping numm within your formula needs to be out of the string.

Maybe you can set in VBA the cell formula itself…

For numm = 2 To lastRow

    Sheet1.Cells("Q" & numm).Formula = _
         "=IF((OR(AND(A" & numm & "=A" & numm - 1 & ",B" & numm & _
         "=B" & numm - 1 & "),K" & numm & "=0),0,1)"

Next numm

Personally, I’d do the whole statement within VBA (ifs, ors, ands) and just drop the value back to Excel. Using Excel formulas makes the code harder to read.
