Hi, I inserted a formula into a macro to start in cell H2. It worked in my test sheet, but in the working sheet nothing happens.
Please tell me what I'm missing!

The formula to go into H2 and copy down is -
=IF(T2<>110,"Incorrect amount billed; to be investigated. Comp fee "&TEXT(Q2,"MMM-YY"),IF(C2="OK","OK to Bill - Comp fee "&TEXT(Q2,"MMM-YY"),("Comp fee - "&TEXT(Q2,"MMM-YY"))))

It is towards the end of the code. Once that formula is run then if the cell does not return "OK to Bill" it will be formatted to yellow. Everything else works fine.

The full code is -

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Just an add -
I've changed the 'ActiveCell.FormulaH2 = _' to 'ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _'
The final formatting works, but the formula doesn't populate in column H at all.
