VBA Code help - first timer
Hello all, I am trying to write a UDF for Excel, and I haven't worked with VB programming before. Here is what I want to do: Two columns next to each other (for example, a and b, but no necessarily those exact columns). Column A is filled wit "distribution" amounts, are long decimal numbers (ie .0084840). Colum B is filled with matching dollar amounts (ie 10.75). So, cells A1 an B1 are a "record" or match, A2 and B2, all the way down to An and Bn ( being any number). What I want to do is take the distribution amounts divide it by the dollar amount (ie A1/B1), add one to the fraction then multiply all records together. In other words: (1+(A1/B1))*(1+(A2/B2))*(1+(A3/B3))*.........*(1+(An/Bn)). Any help? post back here or email me at Thanks in advance -- Poot ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Poots's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2415 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=37780 |

Not NECESSARY to use a UDF - this formula will do the job. If your data is
A1:B13, ctrl/shift/enter this: =PRODUCT((1+A1:A13/B1:B13)) Bob Umlas Excel MVP "Poots" wrote in message ...
