Below is a function I am working with to calculate
commissions. How do I get it to where when I click on a
cell in Excel, and then go to insert function, how do I
make it to where I can select that function from in
there? Right now I dont see it in there.

Option Explicit
Dim SalesQ As Currency
Dim CalculateCommission As Currency
Public Function CalComm() As Currency
CalculateCommission = SalesQ * (1.5 / 100)
End Function

Public Sub main()
SalesQ = InputBox("Enter Sales Amount")
Call CalComm
MsgBox ("The commission amount is: $" &
CalculateCommission)
End Sub

You should be able to see it in the function category Userd Defined
If not, post again

Todd,

Where have you stored it? It should be in a general module, not a worksheet
module or ThisWorkbook.

Ah there we go, thank you. I had it in the worksheet
module. I put it in a regular module and now its in User
Defined, however when I try to insert it in cell A1, it
does nothing. when I am inserting it in cell A1 it says
this function takes no arguments. So how would I make it
take argument so that whatever is in cell A1, it will use
that value as the variable instead of the input box?

hey Bob,

I got it to work. Below is what I was doing which was
causing the error...
Public Function CalComm() As Currency
CalComm = SalesQ * (1.5 / 100)
End Function

I failed to put SalesQ in the parenthesis.

Thank you and to everyone else who helped me. I seem to
be finding myself spending allot of time on obvious
mistakes.

Thanx again

Todd

Well we would never have guessed that unless you posted the code, so well
done for sorting it yourself. It is still the best way to learn<g

Todd,

If you want to put the function in A1, it cannot use a value in A1, that's
a circular reference. A function in a cell can only reference another cell.
SO if you want to pick up SalesQ from a cell, the function would look like
this

Public Function CalComm(SalesQ) As Currency
CalComm = SalesQ * (1.5 / 100)
End Function

and if A1 held the SalesQ figure, the function would go in A2 or some other
cell and would look like

=CalComm(A1)

Todd,

That probably means that you don't have a number in A1.

The above is your sub re-written (quickly) as a function. If it doesn't
work post back.
