    The Formula property expects a formula in English. You could use

     

    ThisWorkbook.Sheets(SheetName).Range("H1").Formula = "=TEXTJOIN(""-"",,""Export"",SheetNameFunc(),YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))

     

    To specify it in your local language, use FormulaLocal:

     

    ThisWorkbook.Sheets(SheetName).Range("H1").FormulaLocal = "=JOINDRE.TEXTE(""-"";;""Export"";SheetNameFunc();ANNEE(AUJOURDHUI());MOIS(AUJOURDHUI());JOUR(AUJOURDHUI()))

I tried this with an Excel Lambda function rather than a VBA UDF and there was no problem.  Then I realised you are probably using an old Excel version and it is that which causes the potential array result from a UDF to be reduced to a single value with "@"?

 

One idea that did occur to me though, is have you tried using TEXTJOIN rather than "&"s?

= JOINDRE.TEXTE("-",,SheetNameFunc(), ANNEE(AUJOURDHUI()), MOIS(AUJOURDHUI()))

Thanks for your reply,

I tried to use the joindre method like this:

ThisWorkbook.Sheets(SheetName).Range("H1").Formula = "=JOINDRE.TEXTE(""-"";;""Export"";SheetNameFunc();ANNEE(AUJOURDHUI());MOIS(AUJOURDHUI());JOUR(AUJOURDHUI()))"

But it raises the 1004 error code : Application-defined or object-defined error

Do you think about a solution that can resolve my problem ?
