[VBA] Basic Sumif function usage in VBA

[Alexlin]

Thanks for visiting mypost. I have encountered a difficulty in applying sumif function.

The raw data is likethis.

In worksheet 1, thereare 100 companies' name on one row and 87 expense items on one column
Worksheet 2 is atemplate. I need to create a worksheet for each entity based on worksheet 2.


So I have the followingcode. For creating new tab, it is fine. For applying the sumif function, Ifailed. What I need is to get the raw data from worksheet 1 to worksheet 2.
Can any expert help tomodify the code below? I do not understand why it's not working.

Dim i As Long, entity As Variant

For i = 1 To 100

Worksheets("ws1").Activate
Cells(2, i).Activate
Set entity = ActiveCell
'Creating new tab foreach company and change the tab name
Worksheets("ws2").Copyafter:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
Worksheets("ws2").name =RTrim(Left(entity, 31))
'Apply sumif function(But I dunno how why it doesnt work, and I think I can apply For_Next hereagain)

Range("D8") =Application.SumIf(Worksheets("ws1").Columns("A"),Range("G8"), Worksheets("ws1").Cells(2, i).Columns)

Range("D9") =Application.SumIf(Worksheets("ws1").Columns("A"),Range("G9"), Worksheets("ws1").Cells(2, i).Columns)

Range("D10") = Application.SumIf(Worksheets("ws1").Columns("A"),Range("G10") Worksheets("ws1").Cells(2, i).Columns)

....

Range("D87") =Application.SumIf(Worksheets("ws1").Columns("A"),Range("G87"), Cells(2, i).Columns)

Next

Thanks v. much!

Usually the first argument of a SUMIF is a range and the second is the criteria.

In your code you appear to be using a single cell for the first argument and the second argument.

What range(s) do you want to sum and what criteria do you want to use?

Hi Norie, thanks for your replies. I have fixed the problem. However, I have onemore advanced question abt the sumif function.
You know, when we apply the sumif function in VBA, we canget the value directly rather than showing the formula.
If we wanna show the formula, we needa type sth likeRange("A1") = "=sumif(xxxxx,xxxx,xxxx)".
However, is it possible for VBA to show the formula if thesum range is variable.
Like on worksheet 1, it is Sumif(=SUMIF(F:F,H15,G:G)). On worksheet 2 it is Sumif(=SUMIF(F:F,H15,H:H))

I have the following code and it gets the value correctly.Is it possible to show the formula (Rather than value) correctly if the sumcolumn is variable?
For i = 4 To 100
Cells(2, i).Activate
AC = ActiveCell.Column
Range("D8") =Application.SumIf(Worksheets("Source").Columns("B"),Range("G8"), Worksheets("Source").Columns(AC))
