How can I use VBA to create an =AVERAGE formula in a dynamic cell with a dynamic range?












0















I'm trying to write a Sub that will allow me to replace a formula for every time the macro is run.



I'm able to select the range I want using:



Range("A3").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Range("B5", ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 1)).Select


And I'm able to find the cell in which I want the formula using:



Range("A3").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(2, 1).Activate


Is there a way I can make a formula that says =AVERAGE([selected range])?



Note: I do not want to just have the value in the cell. I need to have it so there is an active formula showing the results.

    See How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA - Stack Overflow. Once you have a Range containing the cells you want to average, you can just use something like =AVERAGE(" & rng.Address & ")"

  • Sounds like you could create a dynamic named range and refer to that.

It would seem you are trying to do something like this:



Dim lrows As Long

lrows = Range("A3").End(xlDown).Row - 1

Range("A" & lrows + 1).Formula = "=AVERAGE(B5:B" & lrows & ")"


You should avoid using SELECTing and ACTIVATEing cells in your code, it slows it down and makes it less reliable.
