Missing parts of pasted formula when when recording macro.

[leemcder]

Can someone please help me? When I copy the formula below(which works) while recording a macro, it seems to have parts of the formula cut off in the code (highlighted below is what the macro creates) for example, the original formula, looks in the data sheet for "highway Tripper", as you can see in the macro recording (ive highlighted in black), it is changed to

Highw" & _
"er"")) I assume this is why the code wont work? Can someone please tell me how to stop this from happening? I'd rather not have to manually type in the formula, as I have about 15 of them.

Thanks​

when it is being pushed to the cell the line breaks cause the problem " & _ it is not runable code and hence it fails. I have been successful in making work at times, but don't know what the real constraints are, so trial and often error

you can change
Range("I5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 =

to

Range("I5").FormulaR1C1 =

Do these two formulae give you the same result?
=SUM(COUNTIFS(Data!R:R,RTA!A:A,Data!Q:Q,">1/1/1900",Data!U:U,"Yes",Data!N:N,"",Data!F:F,"Clinical Negligence"))+SUM(COUNTIFS(Data!R:R,RTA!A:A,Data!Q:Q,">1/1/1900",Data!U:U,"Yes",Data!N:N,"",Data!F:F,"Financial Mis-Selling"))
=SUM(COUNTIFS(Data!R:R,RTA!A:A,Data!Q:Q,">1/1/1900",Data!U:U,"Yes",Data!N:N,"",Data!F:F,{"Clinical Negligence","Financial Mis-Selling"}))

Thanks for the reply. Those formulae don't work, unfortunately. They're missing out a large chunk of the countifs.

Hi, what do you mean my same result? As a working formula? or working when I paste when recording the macro? This formula doesn't contain all the conditions as the original formula, so the result is different. Thanks

 

[mole999]

I was thinking

=SUM(COUNTIFS(Data!R:R,RTA!A:A,Data!Q:Q,">1/1/1900",Data!U:U,"Yes",Data!N:N,"",Data!F:F,OR("Clinical Negligence","Financial Mis-Selling","Highway Tripper","Holiday Illness","Industrial Disease","SIPP","Solar","Tripping","Works Accident")))

but noticed the beginning of an Array in Fluffs test

I can't test this so it may just fall over

What I mean is, if they both give the same result (as a formula), you can continue building the formula in the same manner. That will drastically reduce the length of your formula, hopefully to a point where you can record it.
