Applies To
Range Object, Series Object.
Description
Returns or sets the formula for the object, using A1-style references in the user's language. Read-write.
Remarks
If the cell contains a constant, this property returns the constant. If the cell is empty, it returns an empty string. If the cell contains a formula, it returns the formula as a string, in the same format as it 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 checks to see if that cell is already formatted with one of the date or time number formats. If not, it 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.
Setting the formula of a multi-cell range fills all cells in the range with the formula.

Example
Assume that you enter the formula =SUM(A1:A10) in cell A11 on Sheet1, using the American English version of Microsoft Excel. If you then open the workbook on a computer that is running the German version and run the following example, the example displays the formula =SUMME(A1:A10) in a message box.
