Better way to input formulas in tables?

[spydey]

So I have 8 different tables, some with up to 65 columns, others less.

Current I have formulas in the columns for those which need formulas.

I kind of want to transition away from having the formulas in-cell, where they can be changed, erased, etc., to having them be coded.

However, I am trying to figure out what is the "best-practice" for coding formulas into cells/columns from VBA, specifically for tables (if that makes a difference).

I am currently doing it this way:

ListObject.ListColumns("Column name").DataBodyRange.FormulaR1C1 = "new formula"

It works, but it seems kind of ..... clunky (???) to me.

Is there a proper way, or a standardized way, or perhaps a more efficient way to do it?

Granted, I have like 70+ different formulas across all tables, some similar others unique.

Am I going to run into any issues by doing it the way I wrote above?

Thanks for the input!

P.S. The tables will be growing and shrinking as data is added/removed from them. I don't think this will have an effect at all but I thought it was important to know.

So I already ran into one issue.

I tried inputting one of my more lengthy formulas and it comes back with an error message. I believe due to the "" that I am using in-formula.

So I tried a more simple formula.

Sub Summary()

Dim tblSummary As ListObject
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet


Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Summary")


ws.ListObjects("Summary").ListColumns("Score").DataBodyRange.FormulaR1C1 = "=5+6"




End Sub

That works.

But when I do the below, it fails.

Sub Summary()

Dim tblSummary As ListObject
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet


Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Summary")


ws.ListObjects("Summary").ListColumns("Score").DataBodyRange.FormulaR1C1 = "=If(Summary[State] = "TX","Yes","No"




End Sub

It fails stating:

"Compile Error. Expected end of statement."

It highlights the YES as the point of failure.

Any thoughts?

Ok, I think that I figured it out. I need double quotes where ever there are single quotes in my formula. That was pretty simple ..... I just hope there aren't other issues.

So ran into a new issue.

The majority of my in-cell formulas are entered as array (CSE) formulas.

Even changing the .FormulaR1C1 to .FormulaArray, and changing all the single quotes (") to double quotes ("") in the formula, gives me an error.

I think it might be due to the tables ... but I am not sure. Gotta test a few things .... Any pointers would be much appreciated.
