When I try this, I get a "Invalid Name' error in Excel - i can use built in
function and named cells fine Is there some sort of subtle scoping/fully qualified name" issue "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

Hi
where did you put this code?. It has to go in a standard module (see the link I provided to you) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "David Laub" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Can I use a VBA function I write myself in a formula?
Thanks again - I originally placed it in Sheet1 object instead of a New
Module P.S. I read your note for listing User Defined Functions, but I don't know how to "see" the Function Wizard list - can you help me even more? Thanks "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

Can I use a VBA function I write myself in a formula?
Here's a bonus question: Thanks to your tip, I can invoke a User Defined
Function to populate a cell! What I'd really love to do additionally is invoke a User Defined function as part of formula based custom Data Validation - when I try this on a UDF that works great as a formula cell value, I get a "can't find named range" error - i.e. the Data Validation dialog is not understanding that the name of my function is a user defined function - I can enter built-in function names, or named cells, but (so far) I can't enter a user defined function Thanks again "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

Hi
AFAIK you can't use UDFs within Data Validation. Just an Excel restriction! -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "David Laub" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Hi Frank, I believe, however, that you can use a data validation formula that refers to a cell that uses the UDF. --- Regards, Norman "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

correct. This would be a workaround - just forgot it :-) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Norman Jones" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
