Default external Excel Add-In reference

You cannot change a function into an add-in nor can you put an add-in into a
"worksheet" nor can you put a "worksheet" on the network.

Functions live inside modules in a workbook which can be a regular workbook or
an add-in.

The proper and only method is create a workbook with the macros and functions in
modules then save that workbook as an Addin.

FileSave AsFile TypeMS Excel Add-in(*.xla)

You then post that add-in to the network folder.

and the add-in is not functional. how do i correct this?
