Excel/VBA - Inputting a value from a formula

Advertisement


Question
Current coding is:

For y = 3 To 1000
If Sheets("Gas Pending").Cells(y, 1) = "" Then Sheets("Gas Pending").Cells(y, 18) = "" _
Else Sheets("Gas Pending").Cells(y, 18).FormulaR1C1 = "=TODAY()-RC[-10]"
Next y
       Range("R3:R1000").Copy
       Range("R3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
       :=False, Transpose:=False

I would like to not have to paste special and instead just input the value of the R1C1 formula.

Answer
Ryan,


For y = 3 To 1000
If Sheets("Gas Pending").Cells(y, 1) = "" Then

 Sheets("Gas Pending").Cells(y, 18) = ""

Else

v = Date - Sheets("Gas Pending").Cells(y,8).Value
Sheets("Gas Pending").Cells(y, 18).Value = v

End if

Next y
