Default Return array from worksheet function

Hi Chris,

Thanks very much for your response.

I'm really struggling here, I enter the function call in a cell and then
press Ctrl-Shft-Ent, this enters the value in the selected cell but does not
update the additional cells that are part of the array, I presume I am
missing something here, could you help please.

In addition, I want to add the formula from a command button/combo box on a
toolbar as I suspect the users will not be able to understand the
Crtl-Shft-Entr thing (they are traders!) Can you suggest a way of doing
this?

Thanks again,

Steve

Steve,

Looks Ok to me. Are you using CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to commit?

Additionally maybe you want;

tempArray(0, 0) = "Price 1"

- but I suspect that is just a typo.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi there,

I am trying to return an array of dates and prices from a worksheet
function
and display them starting at the selected item.

This is the function I am using to test. I've seen this done by people
such
as Bloomberg but cannot work how to do it at all. Any help would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Public Function ReturnArray() As Variant

Dim tempArray() As String
ReDim tempArray(1, 1)

tempArray(0, 1) = "Price 1"
tempArray(0, 1) = "17/07/2006"
tempArray(1, 0) = "Price 2"
tempArray(1, 1) = "14/07/2006"

ReturnArray = tempArray

End Function
