Here is my code that don't work

Sub FindYearFormDateAndInsertItAsTEXT()
LastCol = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
' Run trough all rows and set values from Coloumn A as Year, as text, in coloumn C
For i = 2 To FinalRow
If Cells(i, 1) = "" Then
Cells(i, LastCol).Value = "Empty"
Else: Cells(i, LastCol).Formula = TEXT(Cells(i, 1("åååå") ' This line is the tricky part
End If
End Sub

Best regards Keld
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Does this do what you want?

Code:
Sub FindYearFormDateAndInsertItAsTEXT()
Range("C2:C" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Formula = "=IF(A2="""",""Empty"",TEXT(A2,""yyyy""))"
End Sub
