Is there a way to create an automation to change a cell to a formula?

histolab142

I'm trying to copy data from column to another, but only if certain conditions are met (i.e. if a separate column is checked or has a specific drop-down selection). I tried creating an automation with conditions that writes a formula to copy the cell into the column I want, but it adds a ' to the beginning of each function so the formula is useless. Is there a way to get around this without me learning how to expertly use if statements or manually changing cells?
