    Lightbulb R1C1 Syntax issue

    Hi Guys, here is the problem:

    Cells G3, H3, and I3 are populated with any of the following data (for the respective columns):

    Aaa AAA AAA
    Aa1 AA+ AA+
    Aa2 AA AA
    Aa3 AA- AA-
    A1 A+ A+
    A2 A A
    A3 A- A-
    Baa1 BBB+ BBB+
    Baa2 BBB BBB
    Baa3 BBB- BBB-
    Ba1 BB+ BB+
    Ba2 BB BB
    Ba3 BB- BB-
    B1 B+ B+
    B2 B B
    B3 B- B-
    Caa1 CCC+ CCC
    Caa2 CCC CCC
    Caa3 CCC- NR
    Ca CC
    C C
    NR NR

    Now in Cell AA3 of my workbook, I wish to input the following formula using a macro:

    =IF(OR(G3="Aaa",G3="Aa1",G3="Aa2",G3="Aa3",G3="A1",G3="A2",G3="A3",G3="Baa1",G3="Baa2",G3="Baa3",H3="AAA",H3="AA+",H3="AA",H3="AA-",H3="A+",H3="A",H3="A-",H3="BBB+",H3="BBB",H3="BBB-",I3="AAA",I3="AA+",I3="AA",I3="AA-",I3="A+",I3="A",I3="A-",I3="BBB+",I3="BBB",I3="BBB-"),"IG",IF(OR(G3="Ba1",G3="Ba2",G3="Ba3",G3="B1",G3="B2",G3="B3",G3="Caa1",G3="Caa2",G3="Caa3",G3="Ca",G3="C",H3="BB+",H3="BB",H3="BB-",H3="B+",H3="B",H3="B-",H3="CCC+",H3="CCC",H3="CCC-",H3="CC",H3="C",I3="BB+",I3="BB",I3="BB-",I3="B+",I3="B",I3="B-",I3="CCC+",I3="CCC"),"HY",IF(AND(G3="NR",H3="NR",I3="NR"),"NR")))

    However there seems to be some syntax error in the R1C1 code that I am using inside the macro...could you guys help? thanks!

    Your formula can be very much simplified if you share the method with a sample file by showing the expected output

    The formula is too long to fit on a line in the VB Editor. You need to split it.

    Re: R1C1 Syntax issue

    Thanks a lot mate! It works now, just two questions regarding your solution:

    1. what are the differences in using the two different approaches above?
    2. What is the point of having the " & Chr(10) & " ""Condition Not Met"")))" ?

    Thanks again

    Re: R1C1 Syntax issue

    1. what are the differences in using the two different approaches above?
    Well, none, if you put the formula in cell AA3. But, if you put it somewhere else, the first one will adjust relative to the cell it goes in and the second one won't. Which may, or may not, be a good thing.

    2. What is the point of having the " & Chr(10) & " ""Condition Not Met"")))" ?
    In the absence of a sample workbook, I just put the formula as copied from your post in cell AA3 in a blank workbook. It returned FALSE because there is no data ... but, more importantly, because there is no False result in the last IF statement. Might never happen in real life but you shouldn't really leave it open ended like that.
