I know this is not what you are looking for; but still it might be useful

Type =SUMIF or any formula in a cell and press Ctrl+Shift+A to get the
syntax as text.

Hi all,
Is there a way to "get" the actual screentip text that Excel displays in the
Insert Function dialog box when a particular function is selected?

What I am trying to achieve is to be able to use a native Excel function as
a string and then get the associated properties assigned to that function
from deep within the heart of Excel.

e.g. in col A I have the name of the function - SUMIF
In col B I want to automatically populate the internal screentip associated
with that function.
In Col C I want to put the associated syntax and operands.

I truly doubt this is possible!

Kind regards,
Bony
