Hello,

I am trying to insert the following formula in to my VBA and then have it auto fill down to row 2000. I get the following error:

"Compile error" Expected: end of statement"

When I receive this error it highlights the word "Invite" in "Invite to Round 1" in my IFS statement.

VBA Code:
Sub Update_File()

Range("V1").Select
    ActiveCell.Name = "Consolidated Status"
    Range("V2").Select
    Columns("V:V").EntireColumn.AutoFit
    Range("V2").Formula = "=IFS(OR(E2="Invite to Round 1",E2="Invite to Round 2",E2="Invite to Round 3",E2="Invite to Round 4",E2="Invite to Round 5",E2="Invite to Round 6",E2="Round 1 Conducted", _
    E2="Round 2 Conducted",E2="Round 3 Conducted",E2="Round 4 Conducted",E2="Round 5 Conducted",E2="Round 6 Conducted"),"Interviewing",OR(E2="Offer Recommended", _
    E2="Offer Candidate Under Review by Approver",E2="Offer Candidate Flagged for Recruiter Review",E2="Offer Approved to Draft",E2="Generate Offer Letter", _
    E2="Offer Letter Revisions Required",E2="Verbal Offer Extended",E2="Writtend Offer Extended",E2="Offer Not Approved"),"Offer Stage",OR(E2="Offer Accepted", _
    E2="Ready to Onboard",E2="Hired"),"RTO/Hired",OR(E2="HireVue On-Demand interview selections",E2="HireVue On-Demand interview triggered", _
    E2="Invited to Recruiter Screen",E2="Recruiter Screen Scheduled",E2="Recruiter Screen Conducted",E2="Invited to Business Screen",E2="Business Screen Scheduled", _
    E2="Business Screen Conducted",E2="Meets Basics Qualifications"),"Screening")"
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("V2:V2000"), Type:=xlFillDefault
    Range("A1").Select

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Without looking too far into the formula, ALL of your strings within that formula that have quotes around them, will need double quotes...like this

""Invite to Round 1""

That worked. However, under the word "Range" it now highlights E2 and says "expected end of statement".

sounds like your are missing a bracket within that formula......
I don't have EXcel at the moment,but does the formula work when typed into the cell ??
AND
you don't need to select cells to work with them...see below
VBA Code:
Sub Update_File()
Range("V1") = "Consolidated Status"
    Columns("V:V").EntireColumn.AutoFit
    Range("V2:V2000").Formula = "=IFS(OR(E2=""Invite to Round 1"",E2=""Invite to Round 2"",E2=""Invite to Round 3"",E2=""Invite to Round 4"",E2=""Invite to Round 5"",E2=""Invite to Round 6"",E2=""Round 1 Conducted"", E2=""Round 2 Conducted"",E2=""Round 3 Conducted"",E2=""Round 4 Conducted"",E2=""Round 5 Conducted"",E2=""Round 6 Conducted""),""Interviewing"",OR(E2=""Offer Recommended"", _
    E2=""Offer Candidate Under Review by Approver"",E2=""Offer Candidate Flagged for Recruiter Review"",E2=""Offer Approved to Draft"",E2=""Generate Offer Letter"", _
    E2=""Offer Letter Revisions Required"",E2=""Verbal Offer Extended"",E2=""Writtend Offer Extended"",E2=""Offer Not Approved""),""Offer Stage"",OR(E2=""Offer Accepted"", _
    E2=""Ready to Onboard"",E2=""Hired""),""RTO/Hired"",OR(E2=""HireVue On-Demand interview selections"",E2=""HireVue On-Demand interview triggered"", _
    E2=""Invited to Recruiter Screen"",E2=""Recruiter Screen Scheduled"",E2=""Recruiter Screen Conducted"",E2=""Invited to Business Screen"",E2=""Business Screen Scheduled"", _
    E2=""Business Screen Conducted"",E2=""Meets Basics Qualifications""),"""",""Screening"")"

It does not work when typing it in to the cell. I've never had to use double "" with formulas before. Very confused.

As well as doubling up on the quote marks you also need to break & re-join the text string for each line continuation. (There's no missing brackets)
Also,
- your named range line would not work like that as names cannot contain spaces so I'm wondering if you copied your actual code to the forum?
- selecting is rarely needed and slows your code considerably
- you can put all the formulas in at once rather then entering one and then filling down.
- notice that I have also used ".Formula2" not ".Formula"
- do you have a typo in that formula? Writtend Offer Extended

Anyway try this with a copy of your workbook.
VBA Code:
Sub Update_File_v2()

  Range("V1").Name = "Consolidated_Status"
  Columns("V:V").EntireColumn.AutoFit
  Range("V2:V2000").Formula2 = "=IFS(OR(E2=""Invite to Round 1"",E2=""Invite to Round 2"",E2=""Invite to Round 3"",E2=""Invite to Round 4"",E2=""Invite to Round 5"",E2=""Invite to Round 6"",E2=""Round 1 Conducted""," _
  & "E2=""Round 2 Conducted"",E2=""Round 3 Conducted"",E2=""Round 4 Conducted"",E2=""Round 5 Conducted"",E2=""Round 6 Conducted""),""Interviewing"",OR(E2=""Offer Recommended""," _
  & "E2=""Offer Candidate Under Review by Approver"",E2=""Offer Candidate Flagged for Recruiter Review"",E2=""Offer Approved to Draft"",E2=""Generate Offer Letter""," _
  & "E2=""Offer Letter Revisions Required"",E2=""Verbal Offer Extended"",E2=""Writtend Offer Extended"",E2=""Offer Not Approved""),""Offer Stage"",OR(E2=""Offer Accepted""," _
  & "E2=""Ready to Onboard"",E2=""Hired""),""RTO/Hired"",OR(E2=""HireVue On-Demand interview selections"",E2=""HireVue On-Demand interview triggered""," _
  & "E2=""Invited to Recruiter Screen"",E2=""Recruiter Screen Scheduled"",E2=""Recruiter Screen Conducted"",E2=""Invited to Business Screen"",E2=""Business Screen Scheduled""," _
  & "E2=""Business Screen Conducted"",E2=""Meets Basics Qualifications""),""Screening"")"

This worked great, thank you! How would I name the cell V1 to "Consolidated Status" since the way I have it written won't work?

Range("V1").value="consolidation status"

How would I name the cell V1 to "Consolidated Status"
To name the cell, try as I already suggested in my code above

If you are trying to put that text in the cell, then as Michael has suggested.
