    You can add below if you would like to format the date column:

     

     

    Sub PrintDate(from As String)
    Dim lastrow As Integer

    Sheets("Date").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    ActiveCell.Formula2R1C1 = "=SEQUENCE(7,1," & """" & from & """" & ")"

    lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Range("A1:A" & lastrow).NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
    Range("A1").Select

    End Sub

    Working when you change the macro line to

     

    ActiveCell.Formula2R1C1 = "=SEQUENCE(7,1," & """" & from & """" & ")"

    Hi @Rampage 

     

    That means the formula is incorrect.

     

    So, at first correct the formula in Excel and only then call it from PAD in order for it to work.

     

    What are you trying to achieve with the formula?

     

    Please provide as much details as possible.

    Clearly the string parameter is showing up the error in the macro

    Change the line as below after removing the quotes-

     

    ActiveCell.Formula2R1C1 = "=SEQUENCE(7,1,from)"

     

    After doing this, fix the macro first in the Excel and only then call from PAD.

     

    See how the Sequence formula function is used
