R1C1 Row to Absolute

[gtd526]

Hello,

I'm inserting the following formula via VBA. Once inserted, I fill the cells down with the same formula.

  Range("I9").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
    "=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2, 1/((COUNTIF(R[-1]C8:R[-1]C8, '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9)=0)*('[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9<>"""")), '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9),"""")"

I use the [-1] to go back 1 row. The formula works perfectly, but I need to change it from Relative Row to Absolute Row, as stated below. Otherwise I have to change it manually, then fill down.

Once inserted the formula becomes:
IFERROR(LOOKUP(2, 1/((COUNTIF($H8:$H8, Favs!$I$4:$I$33)=0)*(Favs!$I$4:$I$33<>"")), Favs!$I$4:$I$33),"")

I want to change the $H8:$H8 to $H$8:$H8 when the formula is inserted.
What adjustments are needed to make the Row Absolute? Its only the 1st Row listed not both.

Thank you.

OK, things are much clearer now, and thank you for providing your actual data layout. If you're going to use the 'active cell' as the starting point for entering your formula, then you could use a variable in your code - for example:

Dim i as Long
i = ActiveCell.Row - 1
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(R" & i & "C8:R[-1]C8)"

which gives you the following formula in cell I9 (if that was the active cell)

=SUM($H$8:$H8)

thank you.
It works with 'sum', but I have to use 'countif' so it's only listed once.
Im filling down 5 rows with this formula.

Using the sample of data you provided in post #8, could you write a simple Countif formula - as you would want it to appear in cell H301 that you would then 'drag down' to cells H302:H306.

Here is the formula:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2, 1/((COUNTIF(R[-1]C8:R[-1]C8, '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9)=0)*('[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9<>"""")), '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9),"""")"

If your formula worked perfectly before:

The formula works perfectly

then add the following before your formula line:

Dim i as Long
i = ActiveCell.Row - 1

and change your existing formula to:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
    "=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2, 1/((COUNTIF(R" & i & "C8:R[-1]C8), '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9)=0)*('[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9<>"""")), '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9),"""")"

I entered your formula, but received an error: Application defined or object-defined error

Dim i As Long

Range("H284").Select
i = ActiveCell.Row - 1

    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
    "=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2, 1/((COUNTIF(R" & i & "C8:R[-1]C8), '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9)=0)*('[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9<>"""")), '[NBA.xlsm]Favs'!R4C9:R33C9),"""")"

There shouldn't be a closing bracket after the C8

Thank you for the notification. Now works wonderfully.

Thank you for the formula
