No still didnt. I took the msgbox out since I dont want
that to display if I am going to use it in a cell. it
shows "" in the cell.

Dim SalesQ As Currency

CalculateCommission = SalesQ * (1.5 / 100)
End Function

Public Function main(SalesQ as Double) as string
Call CalComm
MsgBox ("The commission amount is: $" &
CalculateCommission)
End Sub



The above is your sub re-written (quickly) as a
function. If it doesn't
work post back.

Todd,

If you want to put the function in A1, it cannot use a
value in A1, that's
a circular reference. A function in a cell can only
reference another cell.
SO if you want to pick up SalesQ from a cell, the
function would look like
this

Public Function CalComm(SalesQ) As Currency
CalComm = SalesQ * (1.5 / 100)
End Function

and if A1 held the SalesQ figure, the function would
go
in A2 or some other
cell and would look like

=CalComm(A1)

Ah there we go, thank you. I had it in the worksheet
module. I put it in a regular module and now its in
User
Defined, however when I try to insert it in cell A1,
it
does nothing. when I am inserting it in cell A1 it
says
this function takes no arguments. So how would I
make
it
take argument so that whatever is in cell A1, it will
use
that value as the variable instead of the input box?

Todd,

Where have you stored it? It should be in a general
module, not a worksheet
module or ThisWorkbook.

Below is a function I am working with to calculate
commissions. How do I get it to where when I
click
on a
cell in Excel, and then go to insert function, how
do I
make it to where I can select that function from
in
there? Right now I dont see it in there.

Option Explicit
Dim SalesQ As Currency
Dim CalculateCommission As Currency
Public Function CalComm() As Currency
CalculateCommission = SalesQ * (1.5 / 100)
End Function

Public Sub main()
SalesQ = InputBox("Enter Sales Amount")
Call CalComm
MsgBox ("The commission amount is: $" &
CalculateCommission)
End Sub
