Hello Guys,

I have the following code -
Code:
Sub Posted_Roster_Fill()Dim Ar As Range
Dim TheFormulaone As String
Dim TheFormulatwo As String
    TheFormulaone = "=IF(OR($B15=""Vacant"",$B15=""""),"""",INDEX('Timetarget Roster Export'!$B$1:$B$1500,MATCH($C15 & D$3,('Timetarget Roster Export'!$AP$1:$AP$1500)*1&'Timetarget Roster Export'!$D$1:$D$1500,0)))"
    TheFormulatwo = "=IFERROR(IF(OR(D15=""OFF"",D15=""""),"""",LEFT(INDEX('Timetarget Roster Export'!$E$1:$E$1500,MATCH($C15&D$3,'Timetarget Roster Export'!$AP$1:$AP$1500&'Timetarget Roster Export'!$D$1:$D$1500,0)),5)&"" - ""&LEFT(INDEX('Timetarget Roster Export'!$F$1:$F$1500,MATCH($C15&D$3,'Timetarget Roster Export'!$AP$1:$AP$1500&'Timetarget Roster Export'!$D$1:$D$1500,0)),5)),"""")"
    With Sheets("Express - Posted")
 
        .Range("D15").FormulaArray = TheFormulaone
[COLOR=#ff0000]        .Range("E15").FormulaArray = TheFormulatwo[/COLOR]
    End With
End Sub
When I tested with only first formula, the code worked, but when I tested with both formulas (just added second formula string), it gave me the error message and the line in red above got highlighted in yellow. Can someone please let me know what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hello Stephen,

I can't seem to get it right for similar formula in same code. Can you please tell me what's wrong with the following code? Where did I go wrong with parsing of formula?
Code:
    TheFormulaoneA = "=IF(OR($B15=""Vacant"",$B15=""""),"""",INDEX('Timetarget Roster Export'!$B$1:$B$3000,MATCH($C15 & D$3,('Timetarget Roster Export'!$AP$1:$AP$3000)*1&'Timetarget Roster Export'!$D$1:$D$3000,0)),X_X)"
    TheFormulaoneB = "IF(OR((('Leave from TT'!$C$2:$C$500)*1=$C41)*('Leave from TT'!$A$2:$A$500<=D$3)*('Leave from TT'!$B$2:$B$500>=D$3)),""Leave"",""OFF""))"
Code:
        Range("D15").FormulaArray = TheFormulaoneA
        Range("D15").Replace "X_X", TheFormulaoneB
What should I use instead of ",X_X" in first line of formula?
As you must have noticed that I have used
Code:
  TheFormulaone = "=IF(OR($B15=""Vacant"",$B15=""""),"""",INDEX('Timetarget Roster Export'!$B$1:$B$1500,MATCH($C15 & D$3,('Timetarget Roster Export'!$AP$1:$AP$1500)*1&'Timetarget Roster Export'!$D$1:$D$1500,0)))"
with no issues at all. Why then does it not work when I try to add another bit of formula?:confused:

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Don't worry Stephen. Sorry to bother you. Found out that I was missing "Iferror" formula from the formula.
