Run time 1004
I am trying to use the Reuters quote function in a macro. I have created a
string that gets the symbols and date from cells of the excel file. I can successfully have the strinf displayed in a message box to show that I have successfully created the function for reuters. However when I attempt to have this inputed into a cell I get the runtime 1004 error. can you help? thanks Sub valuation() Dim tdate As String Dim symbol As String Dim price As String Dim valuation As String Dim f1 As String Dim f2 As String Dim f3 As String Dim f4 As String Dim f5 As String Dim f6 As String Range("A2").Activate tdate = ActiveCell symbol = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) valuation = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3) f2 = ",," f3 = "," f4 = "close" f5 = Chr(34) f1 = "=RTD(" & f5 & "ReutersRTD.HystoricalQuote"" " f6 = f1 & f2 & symbol & f3 & f5 & f4 & f5 & f3 & tdate & f3 & f5 & f5 Range("A2").Activate tdate = ActiveCell symbol = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) MsgBox (f6) ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2) = f6 End Sub |

Perhaps change the last line to:
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Formula = f6 -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "cluckers" wrote: I am trying to use the Reuters quote function in a macro.

Your formula is wrong. It's missing at least a closing paren.
When I'm having trouble building the formula, I'll make the formula a string: f1 = "$=RTD(" & f5 & "ReutersRTD.HystoricalQuote"" " Then I can go back to the cell with this value and see what's wrong. I did that with your string and saw this: $=RTD("ReutersRTD.HystoricalQuote" ,,,"close",,"" If it's obvious, I'll just fix the string in the code. If it's not obvious, I'll try to make it a valid formula in the cell. Then make those same changes in the code. (I don't know about the RTD function, so you may have more things wrong than the closing paren.) cluckers wrote: I am trying to use the Reuters quote function in a macro.

The problem is it does not allow the function to be inserted. you get the

Your string that creates the function is not valid. You have to fix that
string. Did you try adding the closing parenthesis? Did you try building the function manually inside excel (not via VBA)? What did that working formula look like when you compared it to the string you were building in code? cluckers wrote: The problem is it does not allow the function to be inserted. you get the run time 1004 error "Dave Peterson" wrote: Your formula is wrong.
