I have a workbook that has many sheets within it each worksheet has a cell H2 which is a different value on a number of sheets e.g. 26.245

There is an index sheet which gets populated with values from each of the sheets, everything works well except for filling data in one particular cell
The formule I am using is

Me.Cells(1, 8) = (Mid(wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 1, 2) + (wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 3, 3)*32)))

So the formula should be A+(B*32) where A = 26 , and B = 245

One of the other cells on the index sheet gets populated using Me.Cells(1, 7) = Mid(wSheet.Range("G6").Value, 1, 6), so i know that part works.

What am i doing wrong in the formula?
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Assuming those values are numbers (which they must be as you haven't included a full stop)
t's your plus sign. Plus means add so you're probably ending up with 26+245*32 = 7866. If so, try

Code:
Me.Cells(1, 8) = (Mid(wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 1, 2) + (wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 3, 3)*32)))/1000

Thanks Special K99

I seem to be getting "Syntax error" when using that piece of code, one thing I should have mentioned is that all cells are set as general and not as a number

I'm afraid that's a typo on your part, I just copied the formula from your post
In particular this

(wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 3, 3)

You've left the function name out, so what does "3, 3" relate to ?
I'm guessing it should be Mid
So you probably want

Me.Range.Cells(1, 8) = (Mid(wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 1, 2) + Mid(wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 3, 3) / 1000) * 32

On second thoughts maybe the formula should be

Me.Range.Cells(1, 8) = Mid(wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 1, 2) + Mid(wSheet.Range("H2").Value, 3, 3) / 1000 * 32
