Convert Excel formula into VBA Macro

I have the following formula in an excel worksheet that I want to make a Macro:

IF(OR(AA2=2,AA2=3,AA2=4),"00",IF(AA2=5,"0"&LEFT(Z2,1),IF(AA2=6,LEFT(Z2,2))))

I want to establish this formula for a certain range based on another column. I have multiple formulas written already that work to do this such as:

Range("B3:B" & Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(xlUp).Row).Value = "=B2+1"

Basically I want to make the If/Or statement above work in VBA with the desired range.

Any help would be appreciated!

Just setup your function, turn on the Macro Recorder, click on the cell that contains your function, hit F2 and hit Enter. If you want to setup dynamic start and end rows, or columns, you can use the methodologies below.

Sub DynamicRange()
'Best used when only your target data is on the worksheet

'Refresh UsedRange (get rid of "Ghost" cells)
  Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange

'Select UsedRange
  Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Select

End Sub

OR

Sub DynamicRange()
'Best used when first column has value on last row and first row has a value in the last column

Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
Dim StartCell As Range

Set sht = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set StartCell = Range("D9")

'Find Last Row and Column
  LastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, StartCell.Column).End(xlUp).Row
  LastColumn = sht.Cells(StartCell.Row, sht.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

'Select Range
  sht.Range(StartCell, sht.Cells(LastRow, LastColumn)).Select

End Sub

OR

Sub DynamicRange()
'Best used when you want to include all data stored on the spreadsheet

Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
Dim StartCell As Range

Set sht = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set StartCell = Range("D9")

'Refresh UsedRange
  Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange

'Find Last Row and Column
  LastRow = StartCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
  LastColumn = StartCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column

'Select Range
  sht.Range(StartCell, sht.Cells(LastRow, LastColumn)).Select

End Sub

OR

Sub DynamicRange()
'Best used when your data does not have any entirely blank rows or columns

Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim StartCell As Range

Set sht = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set StartCell = Range("D9")

'Select Range
  StartCell.CurrentRegion.Select

End Sub

OR

Sub DynamicRange()
'Best used when column length is static

Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
Dim StartCell As Range

Set sht = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set StartCell = Range("D9")

'Refresh UsedRange
  Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange

'Find Last Row
  LastRow = sht.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row

'Select Range
  sht.Range("D9:M" & LastRow).Select

End Sub

You will have a dynamic range from Excel when the formula is entered via VBA as such:

Range( Cells(2,"AB"), Cells (colMVal, "AB")).Formula = "=IF(OR(AA2=2,AA2=3,AA2=4),""00"",IF(AA2=5,""0""&LEFT(Z2,1),IF(AA2=6,LEFT(Z2,2))))"

Note that the formula is entered into row 2 all the way down to the column M value to dictate the final row (colMVal). Also note the double quotes WITHIN the formula.

If anything is required to be FIXED, rather than dynamic, you would use "$", such that:

Range( Cells(2,"AB"), Cells (colMVal, "AB")).Formula = "=IF(OR(AA$2=2,AA$2=3,AA$2=4),""00"",IF(AA$2=5,""0""&LEFT(Z$2,1),IF(AA$2=6,LEFT(Z$2,2))))"

Where I have locked that ALL references verify that the row is 2, hence AA$2. As Excel fills the formula into each row of the desired range, it will dynamically assign the correct row.
