Default UDF to return text

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to make a UDF obtain a string
from any given cell, split and return the value depending on what the
user asks for.

For example.

Cell value in A1 = 233-2330100-100102-101-99999999-999999
There is 6 segments to this string....

The idea was that I would enter in cell A2

=CoA(A1,2)

2 representing the second segement.

The UDF would be something like

Public Function CoA(account as string, xyz) as number
Select Case xyz
Case 1
CoA = left(account, 3)
Case 2
CoA = Mid(account, 7, 3)
Case n
CoA = n
End Select
End Function

I'm just struggling with what I need to include for it to work.
