Here is my general guideline. UDF's are a final resort only when conventional
formulas will not work or in the very rare instance where a UDF will be
faster than a standard formula.

To that end I have used UDF's only for things like counting colour formulas
and returning a numeric value as the spelled out text.

I am looking for feedback regarding whether I should pursue a solution as a

I would prefer to use the megaformula instead of the VBA based solution for
speed purposes.

Question:
What criteria do you use to determine whether to pursue a solution via a
worksheet formula, or VBA?


for those who indicate case-by-case basis, can you elaborate what would make
you opt for the VBA instead of the mega formula?

thanks,
