Using Variables in ActiveCell.Formula

[dustinbrearton via OfficeKB.com]

I am trying to use the below code to insert
"=SUM(D23)"


LastStop = 1
X = 4

StartCell = "D" & LastStop + 1
EndCell = "D" & X - 1
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sum(" & StartCell & ":" & EndCell & ")"

The result of the activecell.formula line is "=Sum('D2':'D3')"

For ease of explanation I have set LastStop and X to certain numbers. In my
code these two variables change based on where the set ends.

Where have I gone wrong in the ActiveCell.Formula line? How do I get rid of
the ' so that the formula will actually work?

Don't use FormulaR1C1 for a formula using normal ranges, use just Formula...

ActiveCell.Formula = "=Sum(" & StartCell & ":" & EndCell & ")"
