I defined a few functions in a workbook using VBA, and then expected to be able to use them in a cell formula - but Excel does not recognise the function. I just get #NAME?
Tried:
What am I missing?
This isn't clever code, either:
Function Square2(AnyNumber)
'return the square of any integer
Square2 = AnyNumber * AnyNumber
End Function
Putting the function in the "ThisWorkbook" area can cause the #NAME?
problem. Create a new Module (Right Click on the VBAProject Folder, Insert, New Module)
and put the function there instead.
Alt + F11
on Windows / Fn + Option + F11
on a Mac)Create a Public
function inside Module1
, for example:
Public Function findArea(ByVal width as Double, _
ByVal height as Double) As Double
' Return the area
findArea = width * height
End Function
Call it from a cell, like any other function: =findArea(B12,C12)
