I am new to VBA, but I have been able to edit my recording enough to get what I want to this point. Here is what I have so far:
Code:
 ActiveCell.Offset(-12, 0).Select    Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(0, 16)).Select
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveCell.Offset(12, 0).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    ActiveCell.Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveCell.Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-3]=0,""-"",(RC[-6]/[COLOR=#ff0000]R[8]C[3][/COLOR]*RC[-1])"
    ActiveCell.Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(7, 0)), Type:=xlFillDefault
    Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(7, 0)).Select
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone
    With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlDouble
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
    Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlNone

The above red relative cell entry results in the correct cell for the edited formula, but for the AutoFill to work properly in the remaining code I need the resulting cell reference to be absolute:

Line: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-3]=0,""-"",(RC[-6]/R[8]C[3]*RC[-1])"
Result: "K580" = IF(H580=0,"-",(E580/N576)*J580)
Wanted Result: "K580" = IF(H580=0,"-",(E580/$N$576)*J580)

Thanks
 
Sorry I am trying to see if I can get a screen shot to you. For each day the there are eight data entry rows and columns A through K.

Columns A, C, E, G, J, and K are formulas to provide data for the calculations I am trying to AutoFill in K.
Columns B, D, F, H, I are daily entries from the Production Manager.

The eight data entry rows start every twelfth row.

Column K would being in row 568. Each cell down to K575 being the same formula with the ascending cell references and the Absolute cell reference in that formula referring to $N$576.
K576= Auto sum of K568:K575
K577 Blank
K578 Black for border (separation for next day)
K579 Blank

This pattern repeats again:

Column K would being in row 580. Each cell down to K587 being the same formula with the ascending cell references and the Absolute cell reference in that formula referring to $N$588.
K588= Auto sum of K580:K587
K589 Blank
K590 Black for border (separation for next day)
K591 Blank

Does that help??

Excel Facts

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
What would be the very first row you would ever need this to start at?

There is any way to rewrite:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-3]=0,""-"",(RC[-6]/ ""$""R[8] ""$"" C[3]*RC[-1])"[/COLOR]

To get that cell reference absolute?

Try this:
Code:
Sub MyMacro()

    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim startRow As Long
    Dim firstRow As Long
    Dim startRange As Range
    Dim newRange As Range
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   Find last popuated row currently in column K
    lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp).Row
    
'   Calculate starting row in column K
    startRow = Int(lastRow / 12) * 12 + 4
    
'   Set starting range to copy from
    Set startRange = Range(Cells(startRow, "K"), Cells(startRow, "AA"))

'   Copy row 12 rows down
    startRange.Copy startRange.Offset(12, 0)
    
'   Calculate first row in new range
    firstRow = startRow + 12
    
'   Set new range (first 8 rows of column K)
    Set newRange = Range(Cells(firstRow, "K"), Cells(firstRow + 7, "K"))
    
    With newRange
        .FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-3]=0,""-"",(RC[-6]/R" & firstRow & "C14)*RC[-1])"
        .Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
        .Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
        .Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlNone
        .Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone
    End With
    
    With newRange.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
        .LineStyle = xlDouble
        .ColorIndex = 0
        .TintAndShade = 0
        .Weight = xlThick
    End With
    
    newRange.Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone
    newRange.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone
    newRange.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal).LineStyle = xlNone

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
I added some documentation to the code so you can see what is going on.

Thank you so much for your time. It is running.

It took a minute for it to go. It started 36cells down first run.
I adjusted the formula to get the absolute cell reference I needed.

Can I use this for other columns?

To change sheets I would just Activate the sheet I want it to run in?

Thank you again.

Sure.

That is one way. If it is always going to run against specific sheets, you can add that sheet reference to the code.
