Hi all, I Have a macro containing a line that will change the formula of a cell using R1C1 formula type.

The formula is:

    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
    "=IF(R[0]C[-2]=0,"",(R[0]C[-20]-R[0]C[-16]))"

When ever I attempt to run the macro it always comes up with a dialog box saying

    Run-time error '1004':
    Application-defined or object-defined error.

And when you click debug it highlights those 2 lines in the macro. And I can't figure out how to fix it. Can anyone help?
