UDF's need to be either in the workbook from which they are called or in an
addin. So your function won't work if in your Personal.xls (except of course
if called from personal.xls).

In passing, I'd change the "As Integer" to "As Long".

When I call this public function from a worksheet cell (e.g.,
=Nspaces(7)),
the result is #NAME?

Pulic Function Nspaces(NumSp As Integer)
Dim Nspaces1 As String
Nspaces1 = ""
While Len(Nspaces) < NumSp
Nspaces1 = Nspaces1 & " "
Wend
Nspaces = Nspaces1
End Function

Why?

I created this function in a separate module in Personal.xls.

Thank you.
