I want to call a piece of code from VB while I'm in Excel, but here's the
tricky part, I don't want to use buttons or any graphical interface. I just
want to be able to call the functionality of a piece of code from a cell with
just formulas.

Something like "=abc()" to run the code in method "abc"

Is that possible?

Thanks,

If the latter, it can only return a value, not manipulate the cell or the
sheet.

By "method" do you mean a method of a particular object? Or do you just
mean
"run a piece of code I wrote"? If the former, I don't see how you would
specify the specific object you are referring to nor be able to deal with
all
the possible return values. If the second, you are just talking about a
standard user function: write a Public Function abc() and you can use it
in a
worksheet cell.

Maybe you could use one of excel's events--worksheet_calculate or
worksheet_change might be useful.

You can read more about events at:
