I got a question answered and then I posted another question in the same thread. I forgot I needed to post new questions in new threads.

I get an error with trying to insert the following formula into a cell in vba.
Code:
.Range("M11").Formula = "=IF([@[Wait Time/Hrs]]<3,3,[@[Wait Time/Hrs]])"

The names are column headers

Thanks
 

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.
I just hard coded in the cell reference and got it working.

If M11 was in the table, then what you posted should be fine.

If M11 is not in the table, then you need to include the table name ..
Code:
.Range("M11").Formula = "=IF(Table1[@[Wait Time/Hrs]]<3,3,Table1[@[Wait Time/Hrs]])"

.. but note that a simpler formula could be
Code:
"=MAX(Table1[@[Wait Time/Hrs]],3)"
