    Long Formula Getting 1004 error when running VBA

    I am trying to insert a formula into a cell as part of a Macro and it keep giving my a 1004 error but I can't figure out why. Any help would be greatly received. code below

    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
    "=((((SUMIFS(Data!C5,Data!C13,RC3,Data!C1,"">=""&R4C3,Data!C1,""<=""&R4C4,Data!C19,R5C))/R19C)*(SUMIFS(Data!C5,Data!C13,""Other Leave"",Data!C1,"">=""&R4C3,Data!C1,""<=""&R4C4,Data!C19,R5C)))+((((SUMIFS(Data!C5,Data!C13,RC3,Data!C1,"">=""&R4C3,Data!C1,""<=""&R4C4,Data!C19,R5C))/R19C)*(SUMIFS(Data!C5,Data!C13,""Holiday"",Data!C1,"">=""&R4C3,Data!C1,""<=""&R4C4,Data!C1" & _
    "+((((SUMIFS(Data!C5,Data!C13,RC3,Data!C1,"">=""&R4C3,Data!C1,""<=""&R4C4,Data!C19,R5C))/R19C)*(SUMIFS(Data!C5,Data!C13,""Sick Leave"",Data!C1,"">=""&R4C3,Data!C1,""<=""&R4C4,Data!C19,R5C)))+(SUMIFS(Data!C5,Data!C13,RC3,Data!C1,"">=""&R4C3,Data!C1,""<=""&R4C4,Data!C19,R5C)))))"

    Re: Long Formula Getting 1004 error when running VBA

    One way to check it would be to put the formula into a cell manually and test it until it is good.
    Then recored a macro of you entering the formula.
    (Press RecordMacro, select the cell with the good formula, put the cursor in the edit box, press enter, press Stop Recording.)

    That recorded macro will give you the formula string without extra commas etc., then copy/paste that string into your VBA routine.
    _
    ...How to Cross-post politely...
    ..Wrap code by selecting the code and clicking the # or read this. Thank you.

    Re: Long Formula Getting 1004 error when running VBA

    Thanks for the quick reply. I did what you suggested to get the formula.
    When the formula is typed into the cell it works fine its just when the Macro is running that I get the error. I've pasted the formula I'm using below in case it helps.
    =((((SUMIFS(Data!$E:$E,Data!$M:$M,$C6,Data!$A:$A,">="&$C$4,Data!$A:$A,"<="&$D$4,Data!$S:$S,D$5))/D$20)*(SUMIFS(Data!$E:$E,Data!$M:$M,"Other Leave",Data!$A:$A,">="&$C$4,Data!$A:$A,"<="&$D$4,Data!$S:$S,D$5)))+((((SUMIFS(Data!$E:$E,Data!$M:$M,$C6,Data!$A:$A,">="&$C$4,Data!$A:$A,"<="&$D$4,Data!$S:$S,D$5))/D$20)*(SUMIFS(Data!$E:$E,Data!$M:$M,"Holiday",Data!$A:$A,">="&$C$4,Data!$A:$A,"<="&$D$4,Data!$S:$S,D$5)))+((((SUMIFS(Data!$E:$E,Data!$M:$M,$C6,Data!$A:$A,">="&$C$4,Data!$A:$A,"<="&$D$4,Data!$S:$S,D$5))/D$20)*(SUMIFS(Data!$E:$E,Data!$M:$M,"Sick Leave",Data!$A:$A,">="&$C$4,Data!$A:$A,"<="&$D$4,Data!$S:$S,D$5)))+(SUMIFS(Data!$E:$E,Data!$M:$M,$C6,Data!$A:$A,">="&$C$4,Data!$A:$A,"<="&$D$4,Data!$S:$S,D$5)))))

    Re: Long Formula Getting 1004 error when running VBA

    I've also tried shortening it by using named ranges but still no joy.

    =((((SUMIFS(T,P,RC3,D,"">=""&R4C3,D,""<=""&R4C4,N,R5C))/R20C)*(SUMIFS(T,P,""Other Leave"",D,"">=""&R4C3,D,""<=""&R4C4,N,R5C)))+((((SUMIFS(T,P,RC3,D,"">=""&R4C3,D,""<=""&R4C4,N,R5C))/R20C)*(SUMIFS(T,P,""Holiday"",D,"">=""&R4C3,D,""<=""&R4C4,D+(SUMIFS(T,P,RC3,D,"">=""&R4C3,D,""<=""&R4C4,N,R5C))))"

    Re: Long Formula Getting 1004 error when running VBA

    Are you using .Formula or .FormulaArray?

    The length of this would suggest it is an array and should be set as such rather than just a formula
