This should be real easy, but I having difficulty. I want a function that
places a value in another cell. An example use might be like:
=IF(F2210,SetCellVal(F23,"BUY"),SetCellVal(F23,"S ELL")).

Though, I tried a dozen or so variations it presently looks like:

Function SetCellVal(targe_cell As Range, target_value As String)

'Set Cell to Value
target_cell.Value = target_value

End Function

I guess its more than a one liner.

In advance Thanks for any Help given.

Craig.

Craig

A function can not change the value in any other cell.

You may need to look at a worksheet Change macr

Craig,

Functions can only change the value of the cell they are called by:
everything else is ignored.

Put a formula in F23:

=IF(F2210,"BUY","SELL")

Sorry, my example should have said
=IF(F2210,SetCellVal(F23,"BUY"),SetCellVal(F24,"S ELL")). As of course I
could just use the formula you stated. But real problem is a little harder
then the simple example I stated. Really what this is doing is setting a
flag.

Picture cells A10 & B10. (The entire column of A and B is a running sum of
another going list over a time period, A10 & B10, A11 & B11, etc..but just
focus on 1 period Row 10) They are both doing indepentant calculations,
however, there is one case where I don't want B10 to sum in this value 'X',
instead I want 'X' to be summed into A10 along with the other stuff A10 is
alread summing. Therefore, my idea is in B10's sumif statement it will not
SUM with X instead it will set cell C10 to be 'X'. This way A10 will sum +
C10. C10 will always be 0 except when its not.

So based on the result of my sumif I wanted to populate the adjectant cell.
How do I do that if not in a function?

Thanks,

Craig.

Craig,

You can use the worksheet's calculate or change event.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Range("F22").Value 10 Then
Range("F23").Value = "Buy"
Range("F24").Value = "Sell"
Else
Range("F23").Value = ""
Range("F24").Value = ""
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Copy the code above, right click the sheet tab, select "View Code", and
paste the code in the window that appears.
