SumEvalString is a User Defined Function and will not show up in the list of

ViewMacros is empty it's not finding any macros at all. Even in
"Open all workbooks", which scares me a bit - as other documents have
VB in them).

I'm trying to remember if I may have opened this document at home with
Office for Mac. If so, could macros get lost from a document?

I did a search of "all files and folders" in this folder containing
the string SumEvalString. It found the .xls document, but not the
..xlsm document. I found this odd, as I can see it in the .xlsm
cells. So I opened the .xls file (in compatibility mode) and tried
to read the macro. No dice. I am not finding it.

I'm assuming I need to find it before continuing.

You will find the UDF in a general module.

Developer TabVisual Basic to open the VBE.

Double-click on a module to open.............look for the UDF

If Developer Tab is not shown on the ribbon you must place it there.

I have a spreadsheet that hasn't been changed since my work upgraded

hardly anything I used to know how to find is hidden.

I need to change a VB macro, but the View/Macros did not show anything
and I know there is some VB in this spreadsheet. I saved this
spreadsheet from compatibility mode to a XSLM form, opened it again,
and still can't find the macros.

How do I get to the Visual Basic?

Oh, my column has the formula:

=SumEvalString(G2:INDEX(G2:CN2,MATCH(Base_Year,$ G$1:$CN$1,-1)))

I don't remember how this works (What is CN2?) - but it might be a
clue about where my macros are.
