I am trying to write code to insert this formula into a cell but it is coming up with an error box saying that it is expecting an ending. Can anyone help?

Cells(1, 8).Value = "Letter Grade"
Cells(2, 8).Activate
ActiveCell.Formula = "=IF($G2>=90,"A",IF(90>$G2>=80,"B",IF(80>$G2>=70,"C",IF(70>$G2>=60,"D","F"))))"
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
There's no need to select the cell first, but your problem is that VBA uses quotes to indicate the start and end of strings, so to include them, you need to enclose the quotes in quotes like this:

Code:
Cells(2, 8).Formula = "=IF($G2>=90,""A"",IF(90>$G2>=80,""B"",IF(80>$G2>=70,""C"",IF(70>$G2>=60,""D"",""F""))))"
