I built a user defined Excel 2007 function with 2 mandatory input variables
and 1 optional variable. Is there any way to display which variable I am
adding like the built-in functions do?


Maybe it's just me, but what do you mean by "display which variable I
am adding"? Maybe an example of what you're trying to do would help.


When you type in a function name and put in the first parentheses there is
a window that opens up below the cell to tell you the inputs that the
function requires. Type "=fv(" in a blank cell and the help window below
shows "FV(rate, nper, pmt, [pv], [type])".
