function to modify other cells
Another quick note. Your function can, of course, "modify" (better to say
"put new values" to) a contigues range of cells. This is a way called "array
function" €“ find out the Help for it. In your case you would have to use your
wit with it, i.e. to place the argument at the end €“ to E1 cell instead of
C1, or to create a pair of functions - for the left and right ranges
alongside the argument cell. The best way, with the same function algorithm €“
as I take it from your example - is to propagate "one cell" function by
copying. When even this is out of your intentions, the only resting method is
creating a subroutine. By means of it you can do almost everything; you must
resign yourself only to the instant response to the argument change that the
function provides.

I am trying to write a function to modify a group of cells. As an example in
cell C1 I insert "=myfunction(1)" and in cells A1, B1, D1, E1 I want the
values of 3, 5, 7, and 11 placed.
At the assignment I get a 1004 error number returned.
My thought is that functions are not allowed to modify cells directly. Is
this correct?
