hey Guys, so I am trying to automate this report using macros, and When I come to use vlookup, it puts the code as ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-12],References[#All],2,0)"

This works for one of my sheets, but it wont work for all of them as new columns will be added with each update. is there a way for it to reference the cell "$A2" every time instead of me having to re write a code calculating how many rows and columns away it is.

I also tried putting in R2C1 instead of the RC[-12] but that fixes the references. I need it to be $A2, not $A$2

any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
