Hello everyone.
I have
Book1
BCDEF
1
2811131434
313212527
Sheet1


so the results I expect are

Book1
IJKLM
1
2811242843
Sheet1


and what I have been doing is
VBA Code:
Sub Pytagoras_one()

            Cells(2, 9).Formula = "=trunc(SQRT(" & Cells(2, 2).Address & "^2 + " & Cells(3, 2).Address & "^2))"
            Cells(2, 10).Formula = "=trunc(SQRT(" & Cells(2, 3).Address & "^2 + " & Cells(3, 3).Address & "^2))"
            Cells(2, 11).Formula = "=trunc(SQRT(" & Cells(2, 4).Address & "^2 + " & Cells(3, 4).Address & "^2))"
            Cells(2, 12).Formula = "=trunc(SQRT(" & Cells(2, 5).Address & "^2 + " & Cells(3, 5).Address & "^2))"
            Cells(2, 13).Formula = "=trunc(SQRT(" & Cells(2, 6).Address & "^2 + " & Cells(3, 6).Address & "^2))"


End Sub
so from here I can see a variable 9 to 13 and another 2 to 6 for that then I did
VBA Code:
Sub Pytagoras_two()


For i = 9 To 13
For j = 2 To 6

Cells(2, i).Formula = "=trunc(SQRT(" & Cells(2, j).Address & "^2 + " & Cells(3, j).Address & "^2))"


Next
Next

End Sub
but do not work
so: what I did wrong
thank you for reading this
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
VBA Code:
Sub Pytagoras_two()


For j = 2 To 6

Cells(2, j + 7).Formula = "=trunc(SQRT(" & Cells(2, j).Address & "^2 + " & Cells(3, j).Address & "^2))"


Next

End Sub


This works also. The cell references in the formula will update for each formula.
VBA Code:
Sub Pytagoras_two()

Range("I2:M2").Formula = "=TRUNC(SQRT(B2^2 + B3^2))"

End Sub
