ErrorCheckingOptions.InconsistentFormula property (Excel)

  • Article

When set to True (default), Microsoft Excel identifies cells containing an inconsistent formula in a region. False disables the inconsistent formula check. Read/write Boolean.

Syntax

expression.InconsistentFormula

expression A variable that represents an ErrorCheckingOptions object.

Remarks

Consistent formulas in the region must reside to the left and right or above and below the cell containing the inconsistent formula for the InconsistentFormula property to work properly.

Example

In the following example, when the user selects cell B4 (which contains an inconsistent formula), the AutoCorrect Options button appears.

Sub CheckFormula() 
 
 Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.InconsistentFormula = True 
 
 Range("A1:A3").Value = 1 
 Range("B1:B3").Value = 2 
 Range("C1:C3").Value = 3 
 
 Range("A4").Formula = "=SUM(A1:A3)" ' Consistent formula. 
 Range("B4").Formula = "=SUM(B1:B2)" ' Inconsistent formula. 
 Range("C4").Formula = "=SUM(C1:C3)" ' Consistent formula. 
 
End Sub
