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)

Hi James, thanks for the fast answer but not work...

I need to tell vba that the formula contains a dynamic file name that changes month by month

Dim Mesanterior As String
Dim Miarchivoanterior As String

Mesanterior = UCase(MonthName(Month(Date) - 1))
Miarchivoanterior = "F:\Calculadora Tecnica\Calculadora Tecnica" & " " & Mesanterior & ".xlsm"


Range("D18").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE('[Mesanterior]IN Y CS'!R9C4:R9C37)"

Hi,

Let me share with a few tests to peform ....

1. Before using a macro .. make sure your formula works on its own ...

2. Once the calculation is correct, you can then decide to move on to the macro and decide if the macro should get the cell to display the final result OR the formula which calcultates the final result ...

Hope this will help
