Question

I want to plug a range object into a formula. An example should look roughly like this:

Dim x As Range
Set x = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(2, 1))

Range("C1").Formula = "=SUM(" & x & ")"

The result should be “=SUM(A1:A2)” in cell C1.

The point is to plug the the range object into a formula. I used SUM as an example, the real formula is more complicated.

I guess there is an easy answer to this, e.g. some method for a range object, but I have’t found it after some pondering …

Thanks in advance,
Dainis

Answer 1

You need

Range("C1").Formula = "=SUM(" & x.Address(False, False) & ")"
