To put a formula  =sum(D8:G8) into cell  H8

You would use Activesheet.range("H8").formula = "=sum(D8:G8)"

I need to know how to check to see if the row has
something entered. If it does, enter the formula. I
need to the row to change as I go. Is there a way to
do this??

I think I figured out what will work:

drow = 4
dcol = 8
Sheets("1-4 Wks").Cells(drow, dcol).Formula =
"=sum(d4:g4)"

I have looked for something like this for a long time.
Finally, I stumbled onto it.

The nicest way to put formulas like this into cells  is to use R1C1
addressing mode.

This works because you want to keep the sum  on the same row as the formula  -
wherever that is - and R1C1 does this neatly. There are two alternatives.
Absolute:

xx.FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(RC4:RC7)"

(where xx is the H cell  you want the formula in). Sums columns  4 to 7 in
the current row. Or relative:

xx.FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(RC[-4]:RC[-1])"

Sums the columns 4 to the left through to 1 to the left. When put into an H
cell, both will do the same thing.

The good thing about the R1C1 way of doing it is that the formula doesn't
need to be reworked to match the row you're putting it on. For instance, I
attached this to a command button

Option Explicit

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Range("h3").FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(RC[-4]:RC[-1])"
Range("h8").FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(RC[-4]:RC[-1])"
Range("h10").FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(RC4:RC7)"
Range("h15").FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(RC4:RC7)"
End Sub

Note that the formulas are the same no matter which row they're going in.
(The ones for 3 and 8 are the relative form, and the other two are the
absolute form. In practice, you'd choose one form and use it for all the
formulas.)

Hopefully, I'll be as smart as you
and won't have to bug everyone for help.
