Public Function to Return ColorIndex
 

Hello,

I made (copied) a function that returns the Index of the background of
a cell.

I saved it in a module in my Personal.xls workbook.

Having done that, I thought I=B4d be able to use it like:
=3DGetColorIndex(B5)

But... I have to use it like: =3DPersonal.xls!GetColorIndex(B5)

Is there a way to achieve the first option, simply =3DGetColorIndex(B5)
without the Personal.xls! part before the function?

thanks,

Fries

Hi Fries,

One way:

In the VBE set a reference to your Personal.xls workbook:

Tools | References | Scroll to and tick the Personal.xls project

You can then use Personal.xls functions like functions native to the
workbook.

This requires that the workbook using such functions is a workbook which
has been saved at least once.

Hi Fries,

Also, functions stored in an Addin can be accesed like native functions.
