This does the same

Function eval(str)
Application.Volatile
eval = Evaluate(str)
End Function

Hi Ron,

thanks, but I can't find the dutch translation of EVAL. How can I find
it?

Hi,

does someone know if it's possible and how it can be done to use a
string
in
formula like this

cell A1 contains Average
cell B1 contains =A1(C1:F1) which is the equivalent of =AVERAGE(C1:F1)

thanks
Jos Vens


Download MOREFUNC.XLL from http://xcell05.free.fr/ and use the EVAL
function.
It accepts strings so, in your instance, the function would read:

=EVAL(A1&"(C1:F1)")
