    How to correctly use FormulaR1C1 to sum dynamic range

    Hi all,

    Can someone please help with a syntax error I'm getting or offer possible a better solution?

    I am trying to sum all the entries in the last column. This a team rota/calendar and the last column and row aren't fixed. For the columns because ecause a months can have 29/30 0r 31 days and for the rows as the team members vary.

    I frist thired to use the WorkSheet Function Object, but it then sums immediately and doesn't insert the the actual formula it to the sheet which is necessary as people will add their days's off etc later.

    I use through the code LastRow and LastCol to find the last column and last row. The below doesn't work of course, but just to illustrate what I am trying to do.

    Thanks so much. First one didn't work. I got a similar error. but the second one did. This is also a much easier solution anyway. So thanks, I didn't think of using relative references.

    I'll try and puzzle a bit more and see if I can make your first suggestion work just out of curiosity, but my problem has been solved


    Much appreciated!

    Re: How to correctly use FormulaR1C1 to sum dynamic range

    I find it easier to test my construction of formula strings with MsgBox or Debug.Print, before coding it to be put in a cell.
    And I see the problem, there should be a colon before the last C, as well as a closing parenthisis

    Thanks a lot. I think I get it now, but definately tricky.

    Can I be cheeky and ask one more question relating to similar syntax?

    I have 1 other formula:

    Instead of using a fixed value 30 which could also 29 or 31 depending on the month I tried to use:

    This doesn't work I tried in several ways, using debug.print with & and "" but can't seem to get it.

    Thanks a lot.

    When you see the solution it looks so easy, but when you're doing it yourself...)
