you're trying to "insert the sheet name"??? I assume the . . . is including code that is selecting a different cell. so the ActiveCell for loop x = 1 is different than the Active Cell when x = 3.
try recording a macro. Also, keep in mind that when you declare an array, the indexes start at 0, not 1. so, Dim Company(3) has values in Company(0), Company(1) and Company(2). there IS no Company(3) Next "+" means to ADD two values. what you mean to do is to "concatenate" two strings using "&" try: Sub test() Dim Company(4), x Company(1) = "KM" Company(2) = "KS" Company(3) = "KD" For x = 1 To 3 Cells(x, 1).Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='[2008-04 BIL.xls]" & Company(x) & "'!R7C4" Next x End Sub Paul ________________________________ From: Ahmet Yalcin <ahmetyalc...@gmail.com> To: excel-macros@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:19:08 AM Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Need help on syntax Hello, Please help me with the right syntax writing the below ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='[2008-04 BIL.xls]+Company(x)'!D7" line.
