Problem in setting Excel formula through VB

[Sathyaish]

When I set this formula through VB code,



code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=((D6*G6)+(E6*1.5*G6)+I6+J6+K6+L6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


for a cell it makes this formula the text of the cell and not the
formula.

Here's my code:


code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StrFormula = " =((" & GetColumnAlphabet(colRegularHours) &
LngCurrentRow & "*" & GetColumnAlphabet(colPayRate) & LngCurrentRow &
")" & _
"+(" & GetColumnAlphabet(colOvertime) & LngCurrentRow &
"*1.5*" & GetColumnAlphabet(colPayRate) & LngCurrentRow & ")" & _
"+" & GetColumnAlphabet(colSalary) & LngCurrentRow & "+" &
GetColumnAlphabet(colCommission) & LngCurrentRow & _
"+" & GetColumnAlphabet(colBonus) & LngCurrentRow & "+" &
GetColumnAlphabet(colOther) & LngCurrentRow & ")"
Debug.Print StrFormula
Range(GetColumnAlphabet(colGrossTotal) &
LngCurrentRow).Formula = StrFormula

Hi
have you checked the cell is not formated as 'Text'?

Make sure that the target cells are formatted as General and not Text.

Watch out for the leading spaces!

StrFormula = " =((" & .....

StrFormula = "=((" & .....
