    convert formula to code

    I've just got this formula from a general thread I started, and it works brilliantly.
    =LEFT(A34,6)&MID(a34,8,1)

    I'd like to run it as a bit of code attached to the worksheet, but my version doesn't work.

    Any ideas (probably a very simple error)?

    Many thanks,
    Gavin

    Take the second = sign out of your coded formula.

    Re: convert formula to code

    Sorry for the delay in replying to your posts, not been at work for a few days.

    I've tried both of the solutions posted and can't get them to work.

    So I've zipped a small version of the file for you to look at.
    Basically the run number is entered in column A, and I want the code to put the shortened version in column AD on the same row.

    As you can see, so far I've been using the formula I was given in each cell, but would prefer to have this as code so all the cells are clear until needed.

    Thanks in advance,
    Gavin
