Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Code:
Dim SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL As StringSAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("SAT").Range("H8").Formula


If Not InStr(1, SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL, "NAME=""" & Employee.Text & "") Then


If InStr(1, SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL, "=IFERROR") Then
    SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL = Replace(SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL, "=IFERROR(", "")
    SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL = Left(SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL, Len(SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL) - 4)
End If


If InStr(1, SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL, "=IFS") Then
    SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL = Right(SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL, Len(SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL) - 1)
End If


    SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL = Replace(SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL, "))", "), " & Chr(10) & "NAME=""" & Employee.Text & """,IF(ISBLANK(" & LResult & "_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL),""""," & LResult & "_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL))")


MyDataObj.SetText SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL
MyDataObj.PutInClipboard


End If
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("SAT").Range("H8").FormulaLocal = "=IFERROR(" & SAT_SATURDAY_DEPART_TIME_INITAL & "," & Chr(34) & ")"

same error....

copying the formula to the clipboard looks like it should but can't apply the formula to the cell...

apparently me trying to set =IFERROR( with ,"") is the problem.. took out the "" in that line of code and it applied just fine... problem is I can't use =IFERROR without the ,"") at the end...
