Excel VBA insert formula with a variable into a cell

I need to insert a formula using VBA into a cell but I always get a run-time error 1004. Code looks like this:

Sub save_data()

Dim source As Worksheet
Dim list As Worksheet
Dim nextRow As Integer
Dim nextId As Integer
Dim startDate As Date, endDate As Date, randDatum As Date, dateOfBirth As Date

startDate = "17/6/2018"
randDate = WorksheetFunction.RandBetween(startDate, Date)

Set source = Worksheets("Add user")
Set list = Worksheets("Users")

nextRow = list.Range("A" & list.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
nextId = list.Range("A" & list.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Value + 1
dateOfBirth = source.Range("F24").Value

list.Cells(nextRow, 1).Value = nextId
list.Cells(nextRow, 2).Value = source.Range("F4").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 3).Value = source.Range("F6").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 4).Value = source.Range("F8").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 5).Value = source.Range("F10").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 6).Value = source.Range("F12").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 7).Value = source.Range("F14").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 8).Value = source.Range("F16").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 9).Value = source.Range("F18").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 10).Value = source.Range("F20").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 11).Value = source.Range("F22").Value
list.Cells(nextRow, 12).Value = source.Range("F24").Value
list.Range("M" & nextRow).Formula = "=ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(" & dateOfBirth & ",TODAY(),1),0)"
list.Cells(nextRow, 14).Value = Date
list.Cells(nextRow, 15).Value = randDate
list.Cells(nextRow, 16).Value = Date - randDate
list.Cells(nextRow, 16).Value = "=TODAY()"

End Sub

I have tried Formula and FormulaLocal but result is always the same.

Let's say the date of birth is 6.7.2011.

That means, using your formula:

.Formula = "=ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(" & dateOfBirth & ",TODAY(),1),0)"

it will create the formula:

=ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(6.7.2011,TODAY(),1),0)

Can you see the issue now?

Try using:

.Formula = "=ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(" & dateOfBirth * 1 & ",TODAY(),1),0)"

This will create the formula:

=ROUNDDOWN(YEARFRAC(40730,TODAY(),1),0)

..which while looking a little strange, should give you the right answer and not error.
