如何使用VBA在Excel单元格中实现公式

Question

I want to implement the following formula in to Excel cells

IF(OR(D12>0,C13=""),"",MAX(SUM($C$12:C13)-$D$9,0))

(once formula is applied I should get following result (formula implemented manually):

so i wrote simple macro as below , but unable to implement formula , formula retuns value as "true"

Sub adjustoldbills()

lastRow_sht4 = Sheet4.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Sheet4.Cells(12, 11) = ""

For i = 1 To lastRow_sht4 - 10
    If Sheet4.Cells(11 + i, 1) <> "" Then
        '=MAX(SUM($C$12:C15)-$D$9,0)
        Sheet4.Cells(12, 4).Formula = "=MAX(SUM($C$12:C" & 12 & ")-$D$9,0)"
        Sheet4.Cells(11 + i, 4).Formula = "=(if(or(D" & 11 + i > 0 & ",C" & 12 + i & "=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ")," & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & "," & "MAX(SUM($C$12:C" & 12 & i & ")-$D$9,0)"
    End If
Next i

End Sub

i am getting wrong result after implemented formula via vba macro as in this image:

how to implement formula and get value as expected.

Answer 1

When trying to convert long formulas to VBA try using a String variable to help you test it.

 Dim FormulaStr              As String

 FormulaStr = "=IF(OR(D" & 11 + i & ">0,C" & 12 + i & "=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ")," & _
      Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ",MAX(SUM($C$12:C" & 12 + i & ")-$D$9,0))"
 Debug.Print FormulaStr

Then, in the immediate window you will get:

=IF(OR(D12>0,C13=""),"",MAX(SUM($C$12:C13)-$D$9,0))

which is the formula you want to convert to VBA.

Now all you need to do is to add the line below:

 Sheet4.Cells(11 + i, 4).Formula = FormulaStr

If you want to skip the String variable, you can just replace your line of

Sheet4.Cells(11 + i, 4).Formula = "=(if(or(D" & 11 + i > 0 & ",C" & 12 + i & "=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ")," & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & "," & "MAX(SUM($C$12:C" & 12 & i & ")-$D$9,0)"

to:

Sheet4.Cells(11 + i, 4).Formula = "=IF(OR(D" & 11 + i & ">0,C" & 12 + i & "=" & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ")," & Chr(34) & Chr(34) & ",MAX(SUM($C$12:C" & 12 + i & ")-$D$9,0))"

I'd go another way, with no loops and exploiting SpecialCells() method of Range object

Option Explicit

Sub adjustoldbills()

    With Sheet4
        .Range("D12").FormulaR1C1 = "=MAX(RC[-1]-R9C4,0)" 
        With .Range("A13", .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
            With .Offset(, 2).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
                .Offset(, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(R[-1]C>0,"""",MAX(SUM(R12C[-1]:RC[-1])-R9C4,0))"
                With .Areas(.Areas.Count)
                    .Offset(, 1).Cells(.Rows.Count).Offset(1).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(R[-1]C>0,"""",MAX(SUM(R12C[-1]:RC[-1])-R9C4,0))"
                End With
            End With
        End With
    End With
End Sub
