I am inserting a macro in a particular column, across three different worksheets in excel workbook. This is being done in a loop. In first sheet all the macros are inserted properly, but for next sheets, only few of the cells gets updated with macro.

The strange thing is when I debug the same program with stepwise execution, everything is disturbingly fine.

Monks please help.

UPDATES!!! The code bit

$active_cell->{FormulaR1C1} = $my_macro_expression;
$active_cell->Select;
$active_cell->Copy;
$Sheet->Range($active_cell, $end_cell)->Select;
$Sheet->Paste

UPDATES!!! The solution

while using different worksheets, script was not activating them before writting formula. Thats it.

UPDATES!!! Solution leads to another question

How the hell script was working fine in debugging mode without worksheet activation command????
