passing formula from vba to cell

I am trying to pass formula in Excel cell using Excel VBA:

Mt_1 = "trade-508-cd"

bpTargetRange.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(""*""&Mt_1&""*"",RC[-1])),""1"",""0"")"

When running the above the cell is having folrmula:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*"&@Mt_1&"*",B2)),"1","0")

But it should be:

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*trade-508-cd*",B2)),"1","0")

Solution

  • Please, try the next code:

       Dim Mt_1 As String: Mt_1 = "trade-508-cd"
   bpTargetRange.Formula2R1C1= "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(""*" & Mt_1 & "*"",B2)),""1"",""0"")"

    My answer supposes that Mt_1 is a VBA variable...
