Great news...found the answer...this works: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=""01/01/""&YEAR(TODAY())"

 

How do you get a formula to paste when using Macro's? I need to insert the formula ="01/01/"&YEAR(TODAY()) into B15 using a macro.  Any help would be great!

Need:

    Range("B15").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "="01/01/"&YEAR(TODAY())"

Current:

    Sheets("VOI Calculations for Primary").Select

    Range("B9").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "*Enter current period Social Security*"
    Range("B10").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "*Enter current period Medicare*"
    Range("B15").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "01/01/2018"

Hi Troy

You can try

ActiveCell.Formula = "=Date(Year(Today()),1,1)"

or 

Range("B15").Formula = "=Date(Year(Today()),1,1)"

You don't need to select a cell before you insert the formula. Just refer to it, for e.g. Range("B15") etc

Hope this helps.

Just to answer the specific issue you were having, you need to double up any quotes inside the actual formula, so it would be:

 

Range("B15").Formula = "=""01/01/""&YEAR(TODAY())"
