Single line of code is causing my application to stop working - I think that the problem is with the apostrophes (maybe wrong escape):
.Formula = "=IF(AND(" 'Criterion " & i & "'!" & cellAdress & ">=1;"'Criterion " & i & "'!" & cellAdress & "<=4);"'Criterion " & i & "'!" & cellAdress & ";0)"
When I try to enter the "' sequence VBA automatically puts a space between " and ' making the latter appear as comment. What is wrong - do I need to use escape character here? If yes how to code it. I get an error 1004 Application of object-defined error.
Thank you
You escape double quotes in VBA by putting 2 double quotes, like so:
""
You can also explicitly call Chr(34) to put in double quotes, like so:
Debug.Print "The following is in double quotes: " & _
chr(34) & "Inside double quotes" & chr(34)
I wasn't able to try out the following formula in Excel, but I think it should work:
.Formula = "=IF(AND(""Criterion""" & i & "!" & cellAdress & _
">=1;""Criterion""" & i & "!" & cellAdress & "<=4);""Criterion""" & _
i & "!" & cellAdress & ";0)"

It seems to be a problem with some characters in it
My original formula in the worksheet (working):
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Zazmluvnenia").Cells("3", "AM").Value = "=Výkony!M4 & ", " & TEXT(Výkony!J4;"d.m.yyyy") & ", " & TEXT(Výkony!K4;"hh:mm")"
Putting this into VBA doesn't work because of the quotes. I tried to solve the problem this way: How do I put double quotes in a string in vba?
I changed my code according to the answers on the question above:
"=Výkony!M3 & " & Chr(34) & ", " & Chr(34) & " & TEXT(Výkony!J3;" & Chr(34) & "d.m.yyyy" & Chr(34) & ") & " & Chr(34) & ", " & Chr(34) & " & TEXT(Výkony!K3;" & Chr(34) & "hh:mm" & Chr(34) & ")"
And error '1004' occurred.
Double Quotes vs CHR(34)
Your CHR solution was almost fine, but you didn't know that VBA doesn't recognize the semi-colon (;) as a separator like Excel does. You always have to replace every semi-colon (used as a separator) with a comma in VBA.
Similarly VBA uses the dot (.) as the decimal separator.
The Code
Option Explicit
Sub SEMI()
Dim strF As String
' Double double-quotes ("") in several rows.
strF = "=Výkony!M4&"", """ _
& "&TEXT(Výkony!J4,""d.m.yyyy"")&"", """ _
& "&TEXT(Výkony!K4,""hh:mm"")"
' CHR(34) in several rows.
strF = "=Výkony!M4&" & Chr(34) & ", " & Chr(34) _
& "&TEXT(Výkony!J4," & Chr(34) & "d.m.yyyy" & Chr(34) & ")&" _
& Chr(34) & ", " & Chr(34) _
& "&TEXT(Výkony!K4," & Chr(34) & "hh:mm" & Chr(34) & ")"
' Double double-quotes ("") in one row.
strF = "=Výkony!M4&"", ""&TEXT(Výkony!J4,""d.m.yyyy"")&"", ""&TEXT(Výkony!K4,""hh:mm"")"
' CHR(34) in one row.
strF = "=Výkony!M4&" & Chr(34) & ", " & Chr(34) & "&TEXT(Výkony!J4," & Chr(34) & "d.m.yyyy" & Chr(34) & ")&" & Chr(34) & ", " & Chr(34) & "&TEXT(Výkony!K4," & Chr(34) & "hh:mm" & Chr(34) & ")"
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Zazmluvnenia").Cells("3", "AM").Value = strF
End Sub
I am trying to copy an IF formula in a range, but my issue, much like others, comes from the double quotes. I currently have CHR(34) to indicate I want the double quote, but my VBA error is Expected end of line.
How I need it to appear as a formula:
=IF(D2=team,"",IF(D2=on," - Type1",IF(OR(D2=lr,D2=sn),"*"," - Type3")))
team, on, lr, sign are variables that refer to strings.
Range()= "=IF(D2=" & team & ", "&Chr(34)&Chr(34)&",IF(D2=" & on & ","&Chr(34)&" - Type1"&Chr(34)&",IF(OR(D2=" &lr& ",D2=" &sn& "),"&Chr(34)&"*"&Chr(34)&","&Chr(34)&" - Type3"& Chr(34)&")))"
It presents the error in the second instance of D2 in the OR statement
I believe the following should work as you expect it to, I simply changed the variable name from on to oni as I don't think you can have a variable named on also I separated the &'s with spaces:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=IF(D2=" & team & ", " & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ",IF(D2="" & oni & ""," & Chr(34) & " - Type1" & Chr(34) & ",IF(OR(D2=" & lr & ",D2=" & sn & ")," & Chr(34) & "*" & Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & " - Type3" & Chr(34) & ")))"
I have been batling this suposedly simple problem for 2 hours now and I just cant figure it out. I am trying to make a link and no matter how many " marks I try it always ends up in error or the link says & Poracun(Z).Ime & Can anyone find me a way that I can change the link name ?
Here is my code:
Cells(i, "B").Formula = "=HYPERLINK(""[" & ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & "DN_Pokalkulacija.xlsx" & "]" & "'" & "Sheet1" & "'" & "!E" & Poracun(Z).Vrstica & ""","" & Poracun(Z).Ime & "")"
Two issues:
Your " delimiting is not quite right
Formula expects ' around the file name, not the sheet. Like '[FileName]SheetName'!
Try
Cells(5, "B").Formula = "=HYPERLINK('[" & ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & "DN_Pokalkulacija.xlsx" & "]" & "Sheet1" & "'" & "!E" & Poracun(Z).Vrstica & ",""" & Poracun(Z).Ime & """)"
I have figured it out , it was quotation problem, i forgot all about it and now i have read up on it inside quotation string you need to make double quotation to use as single in final string. Here is a working link :
g = "=HYPERLINK(""[" & ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & "DN_Pokalkulacija.xlsx" & "]" & "'" & "Sheet1" & "'" & "!E" & Poracun(Z).Vrstica & """,""" & Poracun(Z).Ime & """)"
It was all in quotation (") marks :)
I'm trying to generate a HYPERLINK formula via VBA but when I click on the resulting link I get an Excel error message "Cannot open the specific file." I tried this but same results.
This is my code to generate the link.
wksUsersSheet.Range(COMMENTARY_COL & lngRowNow).FormulaR1C1 =
"=HYPERLINK(" & Chr(34) & "[" & strThisBooksName & "]" &
strFoundMatchWorksheetName & "!" & strFoundMatchAddress & Chr(34) & ","
& Chr(34) & rngReturnedMatchingPart.Value & Chr(34) & ")"
The immediate window displays this:
=HYPERLINK("[UPN_Template_Wip]AleksV!$I$4","2322 734 61009L")
I've tried it with .Formula as well but the result is the same.
I'm using Excel 2007 in Windows 7. Am I missing something here 'cause it's all looking fine, just not working fine. Thanks.
Using the macro recorder to create a hyperlink on a blank test sheet, I got:
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:= _
"Sheet1!A1", TextToDisplay:="HL Here"
Translating that to your specifics, I believe you should have:
wksUsersSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=wksUsersSheet.Cells(lngRowNow, Commentary_Col), _
Address:="", _
SubAddress:="[" & strThisBooksName & "]" & strFoundMatchWorksheetName & "!" & _
strFoundMatchAddress, _
TextToDisplay:=rngReturnedMatchingPart.Value
Based on your comment try this:
Convert your strFoundMatchAddress to a row number & a column number, I'll call them FoundMatchAddrRow and FoundMatchAddrCol
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=HYPERLINK(" & Chr(34) & "[" & strThisBooksName & "]" & _
strFoundMatchWorksheetName & "!R[" & FoundMatchAddrRow & "]C[" & _
FoundMatchAddrCol & "],""" & _
rngReturnedMatchingPart.Value & """)"
Note the use of "" generates a single " in your final string & reduces the concatenation and eliminates the need for Chr(34). It's not required, but it does reduce the typing.
I'm trying to add a formula using VBA to a cell in Excel, the (simplified) code is as
Dim destRow as integer
destRow = 107
Cells(destRow, 19) = "=IF(L" & destRow & "="""";"""";""UNB"")"
`I've also tried the following (in place of the last line):
Cells(destRow, 19) = "=IF(L" & destRow & "=" & chr(34) & chr(34) & ";" & chr(34) & chr(34) & ";" & chr(34) & "UNB" & chr(34) & ")"
In the immediate window, both produce the correct output:
=IF(L107="";"";"UNB")
...however, I get error 1004 "Application-defined or object-defined error" on the last line when I run my code.
Any help would be appreciated!
You should replace the semicolons ";" in the IF formula for commas ",". They will appear as semicolons depending on your excel configuration when the formula is interpreted.
I think you probably just need to refer to the relevant worksheet.
Your code would work if it was in the code for a sheet rather than in a module.
So
Sheet1.Cells(destRow, 19) = "=IF(L" & destRow & "=" & chr(34) & chr(34) & ";" & chr(34) & chr(34) & ";" & chr(34) & "UNB" & chr(34) & ")"
Obviously substitute for the desired sheet if it's not Sheet1
