Mastering Variables in Excel VBA Formulas

When working with Excel VBA, you may encounter situations where you need to copy a worksheet that includes various formulas. If you're like many users, you might face the challenge of ensuring that these formulas automatically adjust to reference the correct worksheet upon being pasted. In this guide, we'll address a common problem: how to use a variable in a formula while copying and pasting sheets using VBA.

The Problem Defined

When copying a sheet that contains formulas, Excel defaults to referring to the original sheet rather than the newly created one. This can lead to confusion or errors in your calculations, especially when dealing with multiple sheets or dynamic data.

In the provided VBA code, a sheetname variable is used to set the name of the new sheet, but when constructing a formula that references the new sheet, the string sheetname is used literally instead of its value.

The Solution Explained

To effectively use a variable in your formulas when copy-pasting sheets with VBA, you'll need to concatenate the variable into the formula string correctly. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Understanding the Correct Formula Syntax

In the original code, the line that creates the formula incorrectly uses quotes around the variable name:

Here, Excel interprets "sheetname" as a text string rather than the value stored in the sheetname variable.

Step 2: Concatenating the Variable into the Formula

Instead of using quotes, you'll want to concatenate the variable directly into the formula string. This is accomplished using the & operator in VBA. The corrected line of code should look like this:

Key Takeaways

When using VBA to manipulate Excel sheets:

Avoid using string quotes around variable names in formulas. Instead, concatenate variables correctly using &.

Test your formulas after pasting to ensure they reference the intended sheet and data ranges.

By following these guidelines, you'll be able to create dynamic and accurate formulas in Excel VBA that reference the correct sheets effortlessly. Happy coding!
