Returns or sets a Variant value that represents the object's implicitly intersecting formula in A1-style notation.
Syntax
expression.Formula
expression A variable that represents a Range object.
Remarks
In Dynamic Arrays enabled Excel, Range.Formula2 supercedes Range.Formula. Range.Formula will continue to be supported to maintain backcompatibility. A discussion on Dynamic Arrays and Range.Formula2 can be found here.

Range.Formula2 property
This property is not available for OLAP data sources.
If the cell contains a constant, this property returns the constant. If the cell is empty, this property returns an empty string. If the cell contains a formula, the Formula property returns the formula as a string in the same format that would be displayed in the formula bar (including the equal sign ( = )).
If you set the value or formula of a cell to a date, Microsoft Excel verifies that cell is already formatted with one of the date or time number formats. If not, Excel changes the number format to the default short date number format.
If the range is a one- or two-dimensional range, you can set the formula to a Visual Basic array of the same dimensions. Similarly, you can put the formula into a Visual Basic array.
Formulas set using Range.Formula may trigger implicit intersection.
Setting the formula for a multiple-cell range fills all cells in the range with the formula.
Examples
The following code example sets the formula for cell A1 on Sheet1.
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Formula = "=$A$4+$A$10"The following code example sets the formula for cell A1 on Sheet1 to display today's date.
Sub InsertTodaysDate()
' This macro will put today's date in cell A1 on Sheet1
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Select
Selection.Formula = "=text(now(),""mmm dd yyyy"")"
Selection.Columns.AutoFit
