Excel 2007 UDFs result in #REF! errors
Hi Chris
With XL2007 there are 16000+ columns, with the last column being XFD
All three letter combinations from AAA up to XFD, with a 1 following, will
be a cell reference, and therefore not allowed for a UDF name.
Try using Add_1, Sum_1 etc for your names instead.

I get strange results when I try to create UDFs in Excel 2007 (using
Vista).
For example, if I name the function any of the following, I get a
#REF! error.
add1
sum1
vol1
However, I don't get such an error if I use
addone
sumone
volone
I never noticed this before in earlier versions of Excel and it was a
pain until I worked out what appeared to be going on.
Any comments about this behaviour (and anything else that may be
associated)? For example, I presume this has been done to preserve
key names, which suggests any key name with just an integer after it
could be suspect.
Thanks,
Chris
