I am trying to calculate polynomial coefficients in an excel macro. I can write
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=INDEX(LINEST(R2C4:R1005C4,R2C6:R1005C6^{1,2,3,4,5,6}),1)"
but I want to specify the range rather than having to say "R2C4:R1005C4". I cant do it in this string format. Is there a way I can use Range() or Cells() to specify my range in the above equation? How can I do it?
One way I can think is to make the string programmatically but that doesn't sound like right.
Thanks in advance,
Kaushalya
Answer Hi Kaushalya,
Use ActiveCell.Formula instead of ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 to enter a formula with cell references or range names.
Example:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUM(A1:A8)"
