Default Function

THis is a snippet of a function:

Function MassPurlin(b, d) 'Looking up the mass of purlin,
in relation to b=width, d=depth in Sheet1


Is there someway I could find out the position/location of
the cell where b or d is stored? Ie, if b is stoed in cell
B2,

a=worksheets("Sheet1").Cell(b)._____ where a would = 4

Augustus,

If you declare your arguments as ranges, you will be able to
use all properties of the passed ranges, as ROW, COLUMN,
ADDRESS etc. Of course, my function below will not calculate
the mass of purlin correctly, because I don't have a faintest clue
what Purlin is, but it may serve as an example of what you can do.

Function MassPurlin(ByRef b As Range, ByRef d As Range)
If c.Column = 2 Then
MassOfPurlin = (b.Value * d.Value) + b.Row
Else
MassOfPurlin = (b.Value * d.Value) - b.Row
End If
End Function
