Default how to get value of the argument's adjacent cell?

Hi Andrew,

Be aware that your function might not recalculate when expected.
Excel will recalc when (one of) the arguments change, not cells adjacent to
the arguments.

Hi
I need to write a function which will use two arguments, e.g. vala and
valb (not adjacent) as input values. This function should refer
adjacent cells of vala and valb to calculate result for example:

A B
1 adj_vala vala

2

3 adj_valb valb

4 adj_vala + adj_valb

So UDF to calculate B4, as I see it, will lool like (I don't know how
to get adj_vala and adj_valb in the UDF below):

Function Result(vala As Long, valb As Long) As Long

Dim adj_vala As Long
Dim adj_valb As Long


' get value of the left adjacent cell of vala
adj_vala = ???

' get value of the left adjacent cell of valb
adj_valb = ???

Result = adj_vala + adj_valb

End Function


The example above describes simplifed version of more complex logic I
have to implement, but idea will be the same...

Thanks a lot,
Andrew
