I'm trying to set a range variable but I keep getting an error (Run-time error '
1004': Method 'Range' of object'_worksheet' failed. Please help me to understand what I'm doing wrong.

Code:
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet24.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(41, 22))

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Try:

Code:
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet24.Range(Sheet24.Cells(1, 1), Sheet24.Cells(41, 22))

The cells part was using the active sheet not the sheet you wanted.

You need to qualify each part of the "Rng"address by adding the "." (dot) as shown, to reflect the sheet.

Code:
Dim rng As Range
With Sheets("Sheet24")
    Set rng = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(41, 22))
End With
MsgBox rng.Address
