Dear Experts, this is my first question, i am a newbie in macros, trying to learn by myself, i have several days trying to convert a If nested function in a automate macro, the problem is that i have a lot of formulas, and the machine becomes slow, so i have to apply this formula to "column G"
=IF(LEFT(F2;1)="J";"C";IF(LEFT(F2;1)="g";"C";(IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(F2;rifs;1;FALSE));"NC";"C"))))
I would appreciate if someone can help me with this problem, please:confused:
Thanks:)

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)

What is it you actually want to automate?

The insertion of the formula?

Or do you want to convert the formula to VBA?

Dear friend, Thanks a lot for your interest in this post, in first place i would like to convert that function in a macro, and after apply it to the Column G, so each time that i insert a value in the column F, the column G updates automatically. But the most important thing now is learn how to transfer the function to macro.
thanks a lot again:)

You need to use the R1C1 formula style for this purpose:

Code: 
Sub Test()
Dim strMiFormula As String
strMiFormula = "=SI(IZQUIERDA(RC[-1];1)=""J"";""C"";SI(IZQUIERDA(RC[-1];1)=""G"";""C"";(SI(ESERROR(BUSCARV(RC[-1];rifs;1;FALSO));""NC"";""C""))))"
Range("G2").FormulaR1C1 = strMiFormula

End Sub

With R1C1 Formulas, formulas are "relative" - RC[-1] Means one cell to the left, in the same row. Relative to G2, this is F2.

Hope this helps.

As a VBA function (place in a Module):
Code: 
Public Function IfTest()

    Dim F2 As String
    
    F2 = ActiveSheet.Range("F2").Value
    If Left(F2, 1) = "J" Then
        IfTest = "C"
    ElseIf Left(F2, 1) = "g" Then
        IfTest = "C"
    ElseIf IsError(Application.VLookup(F2, Range("rifs"), 1, False)) Then
        IfTest = "NC"
    Else
        IfTest = "C"
    End If
    
End Function

Dear Alexander, Thanks for your help, i did your instructions in the workbook - Sheetchange section, but appears a message that it has produced 1004 error, and pointing to the:
Range("G2").FormulaR1C1 = strMiFormula
I tried t to change some parameters but it doesn't work.
Can you tell me my mistake, and sorry for bothering you again.
Thanks a lot
:)

What language settings are you using?

It appears to be Spanish.

VBA doesn't generally like using any other language than American English.

It also doesn't like the different seperators, for example the semi-colon ; .

Also why do you have a VLOOKUP formula that apparently only looks in the first column of a range.:confused:

Dear Norie , i use lookup because it is in another worksheet that contains other columns.
I like the solution that Jhon W explained because it transforms the formula in VBA function but it doesn't work. There is something wrong and i cannot see it.
Thanks you all:)

Yes, check my "spanish" version of the formula = does it come out right for your Excel?

This is what I get in English version when I run my code:
Code: 
=IF(LEFT(F2,1)="J","C",IF(LEFT(F2,1)="G","C",(IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(F2,rifs,1,FALSE)),"NC","C"))))

and my macro looks like this:
Code: 
Sub Test()
Dim strMiFormula As String
strMiFormula = "=IF(LEFT(RC[-1],1)=""J"",""C"",IF(LEFT(RC[-1],1)=""G"",""C"",(IF(IsError(Vlookup(RC[-1],rifs,1,false)),""NC"",""C""))))"

Debug.Print strMiFormula

Range("G2").FormulaR1C1 = strMiFormula

End Sub

Note that I have added a statement to the code:
Debug.Print strMiFormula

This helps = you can see the formula in the immediate window before it goes on the sheet. Run the macro by hitting F8 in the code window to "step through" line by line.

Note:
Nories formula above uses VBA to get the result desired, whereas my formula simply uses VBA to insert a normal Excel formula into the cell.

Edit: OOPS -- John's code :)
